Looking at the credits of this film there were listed a lot more stars than I saw in this 10 minute film. Then I saw this was a short version of another short subject where only half the people got into half the running time of the original film Shining Victory.
This is told from the perspective of the future and wow did they ever get things wrong. No doubt mankind was making great technological strides, but I remember 1954 at the age of 7 and young people like Jimmy Lydon didn't have rocket planes just yet.
But we did get to see both Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby sing in this Warner Brothers production and since it was for the war effort Jack Warner didn't have to pay MGM and Paramount for their respective services. Cary Grant reads a moving letter from a dying GI in a hospital and Dennis Morgan and Irene Manning do One Alone from their version of The Desert Song. Jack Warner was certainly going to get a plug in for one of his films.
The Road To Victory, a nice bit of nostalgia that really went overboard in the prognostication department.
