n Officer and a Gentleman is a 1982 film which tells the story of a United States Navy aviation Officer Candidate who comes into conflict with the Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant who trains him. It was written by Douglas Day Stewart and directed by Taylor Hackford. It starred Richard Gere, Debra Winger and Louis Gossett, Jr. The original music score was composed by Jack Nitzsche and Buffy Sainte-Marie, winning an Oscar for the song "Up Where We Belong". To date Buffy Sainte-Marie has not been paid any royalties for this song. The film's title uses an old expression from the British navy or from the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice, as being charged with "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" (from 1860). The film's tagline is: "Life gave him nothing...except the courage to win...and the woman to love."
