Stage Door Canteen [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC] Released 2015 product/publication from Reel Vault
Stage Door Canteen is a World War II film with musical numbers and other entertainment interspersed with dramatic scenes. The film features many celebrity cameo appearances but primarily relates a simple drama set in the famed New York City restaurant and nightclub for American and Allied servicemen. Six bands are featured. The score and original song, 'We Mustn't Say Goodbye', were nominated for Academy Awards. Some of the many stars appearing in the film are Marjorie Riordan, Lon McCallister, Ralph Bellamy, Katharine Hepburn, Charlie McCarthy, Ray Bolger, Joan Fontaine, George Jessel and so many more spectacular stars. The film, made in wartime, celebrates the work of the Stage Door Canteen, created in New York City as a recreational center for both American and Allied servicemen on leave to socialize with, be entertained or served by Broadway celebrities. The storyline follows several women who volunteer for the Canteen and must adhere to strict rules of conduct, the most important of which is that their job is to provide friendly companionship to and be dance partners for the often nervous men who are soon to be sent into combat. No romantic fraternization is allowed. Eileen (Cheryl Walker) is a volunteer who confesses to only becoming involved in the Canteen in order to be discovered by one of the Hollywood stars in attendance. She ultimately falls in love with and becomes engaged to one of the soldiers. An unforgettable tribute to all servicemen and an unforgettable film! (131 minutes - 1943 - Black & White - 4 3)
