Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Although there was a Los Angeles premiere on December 19, 1943 to make the film eligible for the 1943 Academy Awards - particularly Ginger Rogers' performance, which would fail to be nominated - the movie was not released nationally until June 1944. After the Los Angeles opening, new footage which altered the ending was shot between January 7 and 9 and then on January 20, 1944. more

"Tender Comrade" was the only film made during the second world war showing what it was like to be a war bride. It just about covers every detail of home life during this time period, such as rationing booklets, war plant jobs, friendships, worries, "not to talk about troop movements" in public and everything a war bride had to deal with. I'm sure one cam complain about dialog, scripts, camera angles, etcetera, but life wasn't perfect and this film recreates life during a time when "politically incorrect" was not mandatory. People actually talked like that then. They dressed like that, lived like that. This film is as close to factual representation of a war bride as anyone ever got and I, for one, am thankful it was filmed and still lives on. Everyone seems to remember the soldier, but not so much about what their wives, mothers, sisters and daughters had to endure while being left behind to wait for their return. Thank you, Mr. Dymytryk.
