It was frequented by many stars, some of whom graciously performed menial tasks, while others entertained the crowd. Dozens of those celebrities appear as themselves in this lavish musical about romances that blossom between canteen employees and soldiers. Tunes include "We Mustn't Say Goodbye", "Bombshell from Brooklyn", "The Lord's Prayer", "Ave Maria", and "Flight of the Bumble Bee". [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Forty-eight of America's greatest entertainers star in Sol Lesser's patriotic homage to the soldiers of World War II and the Stage Door Canteen, the famous serviceman's club in New York City. Essentially a two-hour concert held together by a moving storyline involving three girls working as club hostesses and the soldiers on their way to Europe for D-Day with whom they fell in love. A great snapshot of America restored from the original camera negative.
