Stage Door Canteen (1943)

 directed by Frank Borzage. 

 Last night I finally watched Borzage's wartime support the troops movie. For me, anything by Borzage is worth watching at least once and this one I would gladly watch again.  There are some great performances mixed in with the propaganda and melodrama, mostly of a musical nature. Here are the three that stand out: 

Benny Goodman & Peggy Lee, Why don't you do right?;

 
Ethel Waters & Count Basie, Quick Sands;
 
and Gypsy Rose Lee, the Psychology of a Sripteaser.
