Film Screening: "Star Spangled Rhythm" (1942)
This Paramount picture musical film—which features an all-star cast including Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Betty Hutton, Veronica Lake, and Fred MacMurray—was made during World War II as a morale booster, with the specific intent of entertaining the troops overseas and civilians back home and to encourage fundraising, as well as to show the studios' patriotism.
