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! <br /> <br />FRANK <br />(A HISTORY TEACHER) Reader Reviews Remember when Hollywood used to care about our boys fighting overseas? Remember when a Star would gladly pose for a picture with a fan? Remember when a Star would sign as many autographs as possible? Remember the good' ole days. That's what "Hollywood Canteen" is about. "Hollywood Canteen" is a star-studded blockbuster from the 1940's. It revolves around two fictional characters that are on leave in Hollywood. What's there to do in the meantime? Well, go to the "Hollywood Canteen," of course! Many of Hollywood's biggest starts of the 40's work at the "Hollywood Canteen." They entertain and serve the service boys. This was Joan Crawford's first picture with Warners after her 18 year tenure with MGM abruptly ended. But, Joanie doesn't have a big part in this picture. In fact, none of the other big names have a huge part. The biggest part, would probably be Ms. Bette Davis'. Bette (the founder of the original "Hollywood Canteen",) was the biggest silver screen star at the time and she wanted everyone to know it (especially Ms. Crawford.) Love this movie for what it is: PURE ENTERTAINMENT. And, maybe after you enter the "Hollywood Canteen" you'll forget about all your troubles and you'll be taken back to a time when people cared more...
