"Hollywood Canteen" gives a chance for pretty much every talent under contract to Warner Brothers to entertain the troops before they go off to World War II. The plot, such as it is, has two soldiers, Slim (Robert Hutton) and Sergeant (Dane Clark), on sick leave and spending three fun filled nights at the Hollywood Canteen. Slim is the one-millionth soldier to enter the canteen so he gets a date with Joan Leslie, with whom he promptly falls in love. Meanwhile, Sergeant gets to dance with Joan Crawford. Canteen President Bette Davis and Vice-President John Garfield talk up the history of the place. But the main attraction is the entertainment. The Andrews Sisters, Roy Rogers, Kitty Carlisle and even Jane Wyman provide some of the songs, Joseph Szigeri and Jack Benny play the violin, Rosario and Antonio dance to "Voodoo Moon," and stars Barbara Stanwyck, Paul Henreid, Ida Lupino, Peter Lorre and the rest entertain the boys in their own way. Not quite as entertaining as "Stage Door Canteen," made in 1943 with Katharine Hepburn and mainly Broadway talent, this 1944 film written and directed by Delmer Davis also documents how the stars of stage and screen did their best for the War Effort.

This is a truly wonderful work! From the beginning, the movie grabs at American patriotism, pulling on the WWII heart strings. Offering an artful blend of romanticism with humor, it causes one to wish for better days when men were gentlemen and women were ladies. A must have for any collection!

Having been fortunate to have been SERVED at "THE" canteen I have found this to be a true story of the canteen. True Robert Hutton's romance with Joan Leslie was not a fact, however, it gave us guys a sense of enjoying our many fantasies. This film was very entertaining, in my eyes, and I'm certain many of us who were fortunate the have visited the Hollywood canteen feel much the same. I was in Hollywood recently and went to the site. It doesn't look the same but I imagined I was standing in line to enter.

HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN
Not the greatest film ever made by far BUT it does have an all star(mostly cameos)cast headed by BETTE DAVIS which makes it more than worth seeing.
