Here’\;s a look back to see how Hollywood responded t
o Pearl Harbor and Hitler in WWII. CBS legendary journalist/reporter Eric
Sevareid narrates the following three programs which illuminate how countl
ess stars such as The Andrews Sisters, Glenn Miller, Abbot &\; Costello
, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope all pitched in for the war effort. \; Ea
ch of the programs is thirty minutes long.
1) HOLLYWOOD GOES TO WAR: The American government enlists the extensive skills of Hollywood f
ilmmakers, Tin Pan Alley musicians and Madison Avenue advertising agencies
to produce propaganda for domestic consumption. Hitler and his cohorts ar
e depicted as diabolical villains and comic fools.
\;
2) TH
ANKS FOR THE MEMORIES: American show business gears up in an effo
rt to prove that Americans solidly support our troops. Scenes at the Holly
wood Canteen and other service clubs show ordinary American enlisted men h
onored and revered by stars and the public. Dinah Shore leads tours of the
Hollywood Canteen while Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra team up in an infor
mal duet to sell war bonds.
\;
3) ACCENTUATING THE POSITIVE
: Hollywood goes overseas to put on shows for troops in the war z
ones. Stars like Bob Hope, Frances Langford, Jerry Colona, Joe E. Brown an
d Marlene Dietrich stage elaborate events for servicemen. Armed Forces Rad
io carries American swing music, news and pop culture around the world. V-
mail and special radio broadcasts recorded on V-discs bring the home front
to the war front.
