This Is the Army

Overview

Based both on the play by Irving Berlin of the same name and his musical, Yip Yip Yaphank, this film pays tribute to American soldiers fighting in WW II (though Yip... was aimed at WW I) by providing a plot that includes a big Broadway-like show featuring many musical numbers. The all-star cast includes Ronald Reagan, George Murphy, Stanley Ridges, Kate Smith, Joe Louis and even Irving Berlin himself.
