- Synopsis:
George Murphy and Ronald Reagan star as father and son Jerry and Johnny Jones in this rousing musical treat. During World War I, Jerry stages an all-soldier stage show to boost morale. After the US enters World War ll, Johnny follows in his father's footsteps and, on US Army orders, mounts the revue 'This Is the Army'. The film is based on a smash-hit stage show of the same name, devised and produced by the great songwriter Irving Berlin. An all-soldier revue, the stage show opened at the height of World War II, on 4 July (Independence Day) 1942, with the movie following a year later. Among the movie's many highlights is Irving Berlin performing his own song 'Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning'. And look out for a wicked satire of the movie musical 'Stage Door Canteen', also released in 1943. - Actors:
