I saw this at the Picture Show when I was 15 years old. These was a lot of War Movies during World War II. Ecxellent memories.

Mary Healy later married Peter Lind Hayes, and they appeared in several TV shows dring the '50s and '60s [and co-starred in one theatrical movie, Stanley Kramer's "The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr. T" (1953)]. "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom was an ex-champion prizefighter who was also a wonderful ham actor, and appeared in many movies and TV shows. Dave O'Brien was best known for starring in numeous MGM "Pete Smith Specialties" shorts during the '40s and '50s, and was later one of Red Skelton's TV writers.

Virtually every Hollywood studio jumped on the "win the war" bandwagon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941- even the smaller "Poverty Row" studios like PRC did their bit, especially with musical "morale boosters" such as this. A "low-budget" studio like PRC didn't have the resources of, say, MGM, Warner Bros., or even RKO-Radio and Columbia...but what they lacked in resources, they had in talent- and it shows.
