2022 now and so emotional way down here in Australia Wonderful film Regards and G'day to our friends across the ocean our friends and allies still as were then
1:05:10 there’s Judith Anderson for anyone looking aaaand again at 1:41:08
song "A Rookie and His Rhythm", by Kay Kyser & His Orchestra, starts at 32:58 in this video. There is much to enjoy about this whole movie, but that segment (lasting about 3 minutes) is one of my favorites for bringing a dose of cheer and liveliness. Great vocals, great music, and some interesting dancing too.
Ray Bolger's number "The Girl I Love to Leave Behind" reminds me of Warren Zevon's "If You Won't Leave Me, I'll Find Somebody Who Will".
Betty Davis started the Stage Door Canteen for the GI’s during WWII. Thank you for sharing our history. This is the Greatest Generation, our parents that won WWII.
Loved seeing Johnny Weismuller working in the Kitchen LOL
RIP Cheryl Alice Walker (Andrews) Who passed away 50 years ago on Oct 24, 1971 at age 53 of cancer at the Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena. She played the role of Eileen who fell in love with Dakota in the film
❤️❤️❤️I want my America back. Dear Jesus help Us.
Mizpah ~ Genesis 31:49, which contains Laban's prayer at Mizpah, "May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another.
" The context, however, indicates that Laban's words were more in the nature of a mutual warning than a blessing.
I HAVE LOVED THIS THE MOMENT I HEARED AND UNDERSTOOD THIS ….
What song is played at 2:06:58?
Love this movie
Borzage! Amo de paixão!
wonderful movie with so much talent. Loved it.
Queria mais filmes legendados em português ☹😪😪😪
Subtitles available in 中文, Dansk, Deutsche, Español, Française, Italiano, 日本語, Nederlandse, Português, Pусский, Svenska. Hope you enjoy the film 🍿
I love this film and the performances of two unknown young studio contract players,William Terry as gentle ,sweet Dakota and Cheryl Walker as the self centered Eileen who changes during the course of the film,redeemed by her love for Dakota.Two people who fall in love despite their best intentions.When love comes,good intentions fly out the window.The roof top scene was beautiful. They were good actors .This film should of been their big breakout,but for some unknown reason never became stars.I cried at the end when the soldier told Eileen that Dakota said to tell her he would love her all of his life.I believe that Dakota and his three buddies did return safely home .Love Katharine Hepburn 's patriotic pep talk to Eileen at the end.
Thanks for posting film in it's entirety.After watching previously on another streaming service,I see how much of the film was missing.💙
We Musn't Say GoodBye is a beautiful song.💙
Where is Katherine hepburn?
I love this movie! They don’t make them like this anymore!
I wish I was a sailor during this time.
This is not only a tremendously entertaining film but it is an important part of Hollywood and Cinema history. The cast is a treasure trove of some of the best leading, supporting actors and musicians of the time.
Thank you for sharing this here.
what a great and complex message
forgive us
and help us to forgive those
who sin against us
but they had to go to war and fight a great evil in a righteous cause
Soldiers are called to a tough road,,God Bless Them
So cool how the woman with the basket was giving them cigarettes and taking their letters to mail from the train window
On IMDB Django Reinhardt is listed in the credits…I thought he spent the war in Paris under the protection of a Nazi Officer who loved jazz music. Anyone know where in the movie he is? Is he really there? A mystery!
It is strange to hear Russia and China lauded here so fervently when, in just five years, Americans would be screaming about "those dirty, Godless Reds."
When you talk about the golden age of Hollywood this was it at its best .. a really brilliant look at the young talent that existed before WW2… Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Gypsy Rose Lee, Yehudi Mehnuen, Harpo Marx all in their hopeful youth in love with the American Dream that once was.. wow, so sad it's changed but then… Hooray for Hollywood and the Stage door Canteen that entertained America . Truly an amazing tribute to the Hollywood that was.
1:23:38 Ethel Waters with Count Basie and his orchestra!
Every time I see this I can't help but hope that the "Dakota's of WWII managed to return afterward and marry their "Eileen's". Though statistics are probably say otherwise.
This and Hollywood Canteen are two of my some of my favorite movies about the war period.
By those days Roosevelt´s american were close friends of Stalin´s Russia. What a shame!. This movie is just stinky propaganda
One of my FAVORITE MOVIES! THANK YOU, FOR POSTING THIS!!
Ces pas rigolo j ai pas encore le de codeur.
Moving and uplifting. In addition to being a great chance to see some old stars like Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd and Ed Wynn. As well as famed stage actress Katherine Cornell.
