Follow the Boys

Het verhaal

In "Follow the boys" , een eerbetoon aan de helden van de oorlog, volgen George Raft, Vera Zorina en een indrukwekkend aantal beroemdheden "the boys" van Australië naar Schotland en van China naar Nieuw Guinea. Als filmheld Tony West wordt afgekeurd voor militaire dienst, houdt hij dat nieuws voor zichzelf en probeert hij een andere manier te vinden om zijn land te dienen. Hij organiseert legerkampvoorstellingen met grote sterren waaronder Marlene Dietrich, Orson Wells, W.C. Fields, Dinah Shore, The Andrews Sisters en vele anderen. Helaas nemen zijn oorlogsactiviteiten zoveel tijd in beslag dat het nieuws dat zijn vrouw zwanger is erdoor wordt overschaduwd en hun relatie slachtoffer van de oorlog lijkt te worden. Dit indrukwekkende drama, waaraan een aantal van de meest populaire (musical)sterren uit die tijd meedoen, is een collector's item dat bol staat van de entertaiment.
