Marylynn, Here is one movie about the Peace Corps starring Tom Hanks. Volunteers (1985) ?Tom Hanks stars as Lawrence, a rich kid with a bad accent and a large debt. After his father refuses to help him out, Lawrence escapes his angry debtors by jumping on a Peace Corp flight to Southeast Asia, where is assigned to build a bridge for the local villagers with American-As-Apple-Pie WSU Grad Tom Tuttle and the beautiful and down-to earth Beth Wexler.?

Marylynn -- I did a Google site: search on IMDB.com for "Peace Corps" and it turns up 477 results. Some are rather spurious, such as the reference to Ted & Elaine, pilot and stewardess who were former lovers in "Airplne!" You may recall that they were PCVs in Africa, where she taught the natives the benefits of Tupperware and and he taught basketball. Best regards, Omnivorous-GA RPCV, Congo-Zaire, 1973-75 |
