Description
Three Disc collection features a trio of films that captured the spirit of America during World War II: "HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN" was a club for GIs where Joan Crawford might over-easy you some eggs and John Garfield might scrub out the frying pan. The movie Hollywood Canteen is a snappy, starry salute to that World War II landmark. "THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS" Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, and Dinah Shore come out to play in this breezy, behind-the-Hollywood-scenes story about young talents hoping for a big break. "THIS IS THE ARMY" from immigrant lad to All-American success story, Irving Berlin showed his abiding love for his adopted country with, among other cultural accomplishments, decades of Broadway hits, the unofficial national anthem God Bless America and the World War II spirit-lifter This Is the Army. On stage it featured 350 real-life GIs, giving their singing-and- dancing all to raise nearly $2 million (then an astronomical sum) for Army Emergency Relief.
