    I was unable to see the first movie on cd one, when I click on the movie it goes to the next one. So I can't watch Buck Private on the first cd and Francis joins the wacs on the second cd. All other movies are great.

    Universal has put out a lot of these 8-10 movie DVD collections, and they're all great. This one's no exception. Though there's four films on each disc, the compression is terrific, and the films look surprisingly sharp. Buy, buy, buy!

    This is a wonderful movie pack for a reasonable price. They are definitely lighthearted WWII films with big stars, less intense than more serious films. They give you a good taste of the propaganda side of the era and seeking the support of the masses during the war.

    Do not waste your money on this. Poor quality visual and sound is awful. It looks like they copied the pictures from an old 1910 projector

    Nice collection of vintage WW2 era relics including the Andrew Sisters, Abbott & Costello and Shemp Howard. Abbott & Costello made it into the Army & the Navy in 2 separate features!
    These were "shorts" that were run between the features in those days-- a ticket to the movies included 2 features, a few cartoons, shorts: 2 revelers comedies or travel narratives, a newsreel or 2, and sometimes a floor show!

    Unfortunately the dvd will not play on an ordinary DVD. It will only play on a laser or blue ray player.
