Movie Info

Storywise, Thousands Cheer is thin stuff indeed. Insouciant PFC Eddy Marsh (Gene Kelly) wants to put on a Big Show for his fellow serviceman. Along the way, Eddy falls in love with Kathryn Jones (Kathryn Grayson), the daughter of Colonel William Jones (John Boles). End of story. The principal selling angle of Thousands Cheer is the presence in the cast of virtually every musical talent on the MGM payroll: Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Red Skelton, Eleanor Powell, Jose Iturbi, the Kay Kyser

The best reason for the movie was to raise money for the war effort, which it handsomely did.

A silly romance story built around a star showcase. Typical for the forties. It's okay.

Clumped together hodgepodge whose purpose was to spotlight MGM stars, Judy Garland comes off best.
