The SONG-STUDDED STAR-STUNNING SAGA of America's show-world at war!

NR 1944 · 122 min · ★ 5.7 · Music, Comedy, War

During World War II, all the studios put out "all-star" vehicles which featured virtually every star on the lot--often playing themselves--in musical numbers and comedy skits, and were meant as morale-boosters to both the troops overseas and the civilians at home. This was Universal Pictures' effort. It features everyone from Donald O'Connor to the Andrews Sisters to Orson Welles to W.C. Fields to George Raft to Marlene Dietrich, and dozens of other Universal players.

Directed by A. Edward Sutherland · Written by Gertrude Purcell
