Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

mark.waltz The adventures of four babes on a binge, four minxes on a mission, or four dames on a dare was popularly documented by one of the four, the beautiful blonde Carole Landis who literally found love on this mission but unfortunately later died tragically. She's traveling all over the world with Kay Francis, Martha Raye and Mitzi Mayfair to entertain the boys. Kay Francis, the mother hen of the group, doesn't sing or dance, but she does look good in clothes, and once considered the most fashionable woman in Hollywood, she's still very chic as herself, even in the middle of nowhere. Martha Raye, the self-declared "Miss Big Mouth", is at the height of her popularity here, doing what she loved to do most, entertain the troops and living the life that would eventually give her the nickname of "Colonel Maggie".Mitzi Mayfair, the most obscure member of the group, was the star of a few musical shorts, but her name means almost nothing surrounded by the other three. Throw in comic man Phil Silvers as the women's driver and cameos by Alice Faye, Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda (all singing songs they've already performed on screen), and you've got a feel good war musical that gives indication of what the stars were doing to entertain the troops. This film was just one of many, and upset some film viewers because it seemed to be made more out of self-gratification than to serve a purpose in the war. The four girls names are mentioned in another similar 1944 movie, "Follow the Boys", but here, their adventure is dramatized, much of it fictional, but most of it entertaining.There's certainly nothing remarkable in the story, even if the girls were often thrown into danger during their mission to entertain as many troops as they could. This was Kay's last big studio movie, and got some rather shocking revelations years later when Phil Silvers commented on Kay's romance with a General showed what a good actress she was, insinuating details about her private life long after she was deceased. This is actually closer to a movie music video with a slight plot than an actual musical comedy so as historical reference, it is of value, even if some of what is presented on screen really isn't based upon fact.

utgard14 Wartime musical comedy about four actresses (Kay Francis, Martha Raye, Carole Landis and Mitzi Mayfair, playing themselves) touring with the USO. The film is based on the book of the same name written by Landis, based on her experiences with the USO. Some good musical numbers but the comedy (mostly Raye) is the pits.Landis is beautiful and glamorous as always. Francis seems matronly and out of place. Raye hams it up as she often did in her films. Her brand of comedy isn't to my tastes. Mayfair I was unfamiliar with prior to this film. She doesn't really leave an impression here, good or bad. She's the Zeppo of the group I guess. Support from Dick Haymes and Phil Silvers. Also features Jimmy Dorsey, Betty Grable, Alice Faye, and Carmen Miranda as themselves.

weezeralfalfa This film obviously was directed mainly at homesick GIs. The Hollywood stars on this fabricated USO tour are mostly among the secondary ranks. However, cameos of Fox's 3 reigning female musical-comedy divas during the war are also included. Betty Grable, Alice Faye and Carmen Miranda sing their signature love songs over the radio to complement the live entertainment. Phil Silvers as the official male escort for the 'girls' is definitely a plus. He was consistently under-appreciated by Fox as a comedian, being mainly used to liven up some of their second rate films. Martha Raye serves well as his female counterpart. Actually, she began her Hollywood career as more of a singer than a comedian, and she does a bit of both in this one. Mitzi Mayfaire, mostly a Broadway dancer, supplies nearly all the dancing for the group. She was cute, flirtaceous and vivacious: definitely a plus. Too bad she didn't get more film roles. Carol Landis mainly filled the desire for a classy-looking blonde. Her USO tours were the highlight of her short life. Although she had a variety of marriages and other romantic relationships in her short life, apparently she was unable to find any lasting romantic or professional relationship. Kay Francis essentially served as the 'girls' chaparone. Dick Haymes was boring in his usual slow forgettable romantic ballads. Otherwise, the film chronicles some of the hardships that USO stars likely encountered. It doesn't include the severe health problems that Carol Landis suffered as a result. This film is included in one of the DVD compendiums of Alice Faye films, much to the displeasure of most reviewers.

Alex da Silva Kay Francis, Carole Landis, Martha Raye and Mitzi Mayfair entertain troops in London and Africa with some love interests thrown in to try and make a story. Some star guests also make an appearance but they are not very good.This film is about 4 women doing their wartime turns for soldiers at different camps. There is no storyline and their acts are pretty dreadful. While I was watching the film, I had a phone call asking me what I wanted from MacDonalds. I replied that I wanted a Big Mac, a Quarter Pounder with cheese, a cheeseburger and small fries coz I had 3 bottles of wine the night before and was craving junk food. When I resumed watching the film, the girls were riding camels and even though I had no idea what was happening, I can guarantee 100% that I missed absolutely nothing. There are 2 good moments in the film - one is Carole Landis singing lit up by lighters as the lights go out because of an air raid, and the other is Mitzi Mayfair dancing - she can kick the back of her head! Overall verdict - a Big Mac is better than a Quarter Pounder with cheese.
