What Stars!, 25 February 2005
9/10
Author: beatleman6 from United States

Saw this one on Turner Classic Movies last month. What a time capsule. My dad went to the Canteen several times during the war. After watching this movie he said it was like reliving a special memory. Having not been born during this time, I still found it a fascinating movie. I did not enjoy all of the artists that appeared in the film, however I did enjoy the patriotic sentiment shared by all. (I wish that there was a way to transfer that feeling to the present day). My favorite song from the movie was Guy Lombardo's Sleep Baby Sleep In My Jeep. I also enjoyed Tallulah Bankhead's cameo with the young soldier. If you get a chance,catch this movie the next time it comes on. You will definitely be transported to a gentler, simpler time.
