Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole is a 1961 play by American brothers and playwrights James Goldman and William Goldman near the beginning of their careers. Both had served in the army in the 1950s. The comedy is about a supply sergeant at an army post in the South.
William Goldman later recalled "we had both been in the army at the same time and it seemed like a decent enough idea and magically we got it on."
