Though this is a classic musical, this release is a rip off. The quality is what you'd expect a pirated copy would be. The video is faded, scratched up and dirty. The audio is almost nonexistant. I had my surround system up to 60% just to hear it and was blasted at the end.
Save your money on this pig in a poke.

I am a big fan of older movies and have a lot in my collection. I bought this movie because I liked Reagan's acting. From the first time I watched it, I fell in love with the movie. It is excellent. If you don't enjoy musicals, though, you may not like this one. The sacrifice of our soldiers and their families is shown to an extent. I do think the movie could touch on that subject a bit more. The music is great and the dancing is enjoyable. The patriotic theme is very refreshing also. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

This is a war genre movie, but with a "feel good" comedic positive flavor. It's filled with Irvin Berlin music and dance numbers. Quite literally much of it is a "Hollywood Production" in terms of big bands and choruses of entertainers.
Both WWI and WWII are included. There's a retro segment where they pay tribute to the First World War near the end of the film, but earlier there's a WWI segment as well. A lot of patriotic themes are found. Kate Smith's "God Bless America" is like a 1040s music video in that as she sings, there are scenes of various American settings.
Ronald Reagan and his fellow soldiers get excited about the possibility of performing for the President of the United States. There's even a playing of "Hail to the Chief!" Now how about that for history's seeds being planted in a symbolic way? I
find one strange thing, there is too many scenes of men dressed as women. Generally there's an upbeat tone throughout the whole film.
