| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostOften fascinating look at legends of the era, with Borzage's fervent emotionalism. |
| User ReviewKate CThis movie is crazy cool... even tho its chocked full of propaganda and some pretty bad acting... in a way its like a documentary of the USO canteens during the war and you get to see some amazing cameos! |
| User ReviewKatie RReally long, but amazing cameos. Plus, the guy who plays California is adorable. |
| User ReviewJames NIt was cool seeing so many famous ppl in it. |
| User ReviewHannah MI surprised myself by really enjoying this movie. It was great. |
| User ReviewNicole GCaptures the sweet romance of the WWII era movies that were intended to promote love of country while alleviating the anxiety and worry of the war. A star-studded cast with great performances and fun entertainment of the times. |
| User ReviewWill DGreat movie with just about every star you could want to see from the 40's! |
| User ReviewDonald "Skull" PPatriotic propaganda from an age when that was the glorious norm. Watching this today makes one long for days of innocence, when even warfare could seem noble and positive. Itâ??s odd to long for such a thingâ??but there it is. The entertainment is a whoâ??s who of the WW II era. I wished Harpo's appearance included some harp playing--he was run off too soon. Loved seeing an extended segment with Edgar Bergen / Charlie McCarthy / Mortimer Snerd! Edgar Bergen was soooo young and quite the brilliant comedian/ performer. Ray Bolger, the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, also provides a wonderful moment of tap dancing and comedy. The music is amazing, and the romance stories are engaging and at times bittersweet. Really what you get here is an entertainment variety show with a loose framing narrative, giving you the feel of a few evenings in a USO canteen. The movie also reminds us of our positive attitudes toward Russians and Chinese allies at this point in our history. |
| User ReviewMichael TThe first of the all-star WWII films that gave most of its box-office take back to its source - in this case, the famous canteen in NYC. The film runs on too long, and the plot is innocuous, but there are so many celebrities in it that it's worth seeing at least once; the song "We Musn't Say Goodbye" was nominated for an Oscar. |
| User ReviewTimothy MIt's OK, and i'ts nice seeing some of the luminaries of the time, but it's notm uch of a film. |
