Description:

This 90-minute documentary pays tribute to hundreds of performers who assisted the military both at home and abroad during World War II. Using powerful archival footage and enlightening new interviews with the likes of Dorothy Lamour, Mel Blanc, Frances Langford, and Maxene Andrews of the Andrews Sisters, ithe film revisits War Bond Drives, the Hollywood Canteen, V-Discs, Armed Forces Radio, and USO tours to the front. The film’s climax is an intimate reunion of Bob Hope with (then) surviving members of his WWII troupe of performers. “War may be hell but this is heaven. Irresistible. Glorious.” - People Magazine Please contact footage@globalimageworks.com for licensing or a screener of the entire film.
