Review of Hollywood Canteen (1944) by Eric J — 11 Jun 2009
The Hollywood Canteen is a place created by Hollywood stars Bette Davis and John Garfield for Servicemen during WW2. And Hollywood stars gave up their free time to "man" the club, doing everything from performing to washing dishes or waiting on tables.
The film includes those two stars and many others manning the canteen. Two GI's on sick leave arrive in Hollywood with one (Robert Hutton) "in love" with Joan Leslie. He meets her there then ironically the next night, is the millionth GI through the door, winning a date with the star of his choice, Joan of course.
Plenty of music, a cavalcade of stars and a reasonable story make this enjoyable.
