IMHO, quite possibly one of the best Busby Berkley numbers. Joan Blondell does a great job speaking the first part of the song...you can see tears in her eyes. Her outfit is also to live for...

Yeah and Douglas MacArthur leading the charge through the vets and burning down their shacks.. I can relate to the PTSD issues. I still go see my VA Doc about every three months. I'm like you, don't get me started.
I just finished Jim Hooper's HUNDRED FEET OVER HELL, which covers the forward air controllers mission and was very similar to some of our rotary wing missions. I highly recommend it for aviators from that era. As a vet I appreciate your support. Thank you kind lady.
Hi, Tom. Please...don't get me started on that whole debacle, with the "war bonus" protesters and army. Tanks brought down on Vets? Shame on them. One of the reasons I love this song and video. I very much support Vets and our troops. War, not so crazy about, though. RU a Vet? My guy served in the AF, and still has some minor PTSD issues from his job. WW1 is one of my favorite topics. Have you read Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, by any chance?
Probably the best musical number to grace the silver screen. It was very topical at the time since so many WWI vets were out of work in 1933 and were all still owed a war bonus by the US of A.
