Review of Hail the Conquering Hero (1944) by Will M — 08 Jul 2009
This film, like a lot of Sturges movies, comes off kind of like a nightmare - a well-meaning guy is suckered into living a lie that grows and grows. Ech. Less funny than it is wrenching. The script, of course, is brilliant, airtight, moving - but always a bit too artificial.
Worth a look, to be sure.
