A retrospective on Hollywood's role in the war effort in World War II.

Narrated by Johnny Carson, this two hour documentary shows us how Hollywood went to war on the home front with their own army of technicians, special effects people, directors and of course, a gallery of stars who's deeds and actions during those bleak times not only helped lift the morale of the people, but packed a wallop with those serving overseas that was more powerful than any gun.—MartynGryphon
