SOME HERE MISS THE POINT OF THIS FILM. THIS WAS GREAT IN THAT THIS MOVIE PROJECTED THE AMERICA MOST WANTED TO BELIEVE THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR AT THE TIME. AN AMERICA OF EQUALS WHERE THE STARS WERE ALL REALLY JUST TRUE BLUE AMERICANS JUST LIKE US, AND IN THIS NATION THE PRETTY MOVIE STAR WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THE MODEST G.I.! I HOPE THIS FILM WILL COME OUT IN DVD!

This film was very entertaining, in my eyes, and I'm certain many of us who were fortunate the have visited the Hollywood canteen feel much the same. I was in Hollywood recently and went to the site. It doesn't look the same but I imagined I was standing in line to enter.
