A musical revolving around the romantic and comic goings-on at the Stage Door Canteen, a real recreational center in New York created for for American and Allied servicemen during World War II. The actual Stage Door Canteen was a basement nightclub located in the 44th Street Theatre, and was too busy to be used for filming. As a result, the canteen was recreated at the Fox Movietone Studio and RKO Pathe Studios in Los Angeles.
8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus overall.
