The Perfect Furlough is a 1958 American CinemaScope Eastmancolor romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and written by Stanley Shapiro.

Edwards and Shapiro would re-team the following year for another Tony Curtis service comedy, Operation Petticoat.

As a result, they have lost all sense of military discipline, are careless and lackadaisical in their duties and their morale is at rock bottom.

As it is impossible to give all the soldiers a furlough, their commanding general in the US holds a meeting to discuss the best solution.

The scheming Corporal Paul Hodges wins the lottery and gets to Paris, France, on a three weeks' leave.
