2	This Is the Army (1943) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring George Murphy, Joan Leslie, Ronald Reagan, Alan Hale, George Tobias, Charles Butterworth, Julie Oshins The splashy, star-studded This is the Army is based on the Irving Berlin Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was a reworking of Berlin's WW1 "barracks musical" Yip Yip Yaphank.

Marin featuring Eddie Cantor, George Murphy, Joan Davis, Nancy Kelly, Constance Moore After a year's absence, entertainer Eddie Cantor returned to the screen in the self-produced Show Business.
