I was looking forward to watching this film because of all the "stars", but they were actually few and far between. There were more second banana TV stars such as Jack Larson and Hayden Roark. Just like Hollywood Canteen, the plot involves an improbable romance between an actress (played by Janice Rule) and an incredibly annoying soldier.
One bright spot is the appearance of the always enjoyable Phil Harris.
If you're a Doris Day or Gordon McRae fan, they both do some entertaining numbers. Finally, I'm wondering why the film was shot in black and white. By 1951, many musicals were in color. Not that it would have made a big difference.
