Remember a time when all of Hollywood--with the expressed encouragement and investment of the government--joined forces to defend the American way of life? It was World War II and the gravest threat faced the nation, and the world at large. Hollywood answered the call to action. This is the riveting tale of how the film industry enlisted in the Allied effort during the second World War--a story that started with staunch isolationism as studios sought to maintain the European market and eventually erupted into impassioned support in countless ways. Industry output included war films depicting battles and reminding moviegoers what they were fighting for, "home-front" stories designed to boost the morale of troops overseas, and even musicals and comedies that did their bit by promoting the Good Neighbor Policy with American allies to the south. Stars like Carole Lombard--who lost her life returning from a war bond-selling tour--Bob Hope, and Marlene Dietrich enthusiastically joined USO performances and risked their own health and safety by entertaining troops near battlefronts; others like James Stewart and Clark Gable joined the fight themselves in uniform; Bette Davis and John Garfield created a starry haven for soldiers in their founding of the Hollywood Canteen. Filmmakers Orson Welles, Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, and others took breaks from thriving careers to make films aiming to shore up alliances, boost recruitment, and let the folks back home know what beloved family members were facing overseas. Through it all, a story of once-in-a-century unity--of a collective need to stand up for humanity, even if it means risking everything Industria cinematográfica Historia 28114 Estados Unidos Siglo XX Actores y actrices de cine Historia 3183 Estados Unidos Siglo XX Productores y directores de cine Estados Unidos Historia 2429 Siglo XX Guerra mundial II, 1939-1945 en el cine 24252 Citino, Robert Michael, 1958- 48612 writer of foreword lcc BK cmc 127211 127211 0 0 lcc 0 0 HU BJB BJB HU 2026-05-25 0 PN 1993.5 B645h 2021 00000199851 2026-05-25 10:03:00 1 2026-05-25 BK
