WB Homefront Collection: 11/11/08

From classic flix:

**Warner** has announced a November 11th release date for their much anticipated Warner Bros. and the Homefront Collection. The titles are: This is the Army (1942), Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943) and Hollywood Canteen (1944).

The Technicolor This is the Army has been available in several PD releases, and is sure to look better. Stars and Canteen are making their bow on DVD. The 3-disc DVD set will retail for $39.92. Titles will not be sold as singles and there are some preliminary details regarding Bonus Features below.

This is the Army (1942)
From immigrant lad to All-American success story, Irving Berlin showed his abiding love for his adopted country with, among other cultural accomplishments, decades of Broadway hits, the unofficial national anthem God Bless America and the World War II spirit-lifter This Is the Army. On stage it featured 350 real-life GIs, giving their singing-and- dancing all to raise nearly $2 million (then an astronomical sum) for Army Emergency Relief.

Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943)
Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, and Dinah Shore come out to play in the joyous World War II-era Thank Your Lucky Stars. A breezy, behind-the-Hollywood-scenes story about young talents hoping for a big break glitters with specialty numbers featuring Golden Era greats. Dig in!

Hollywood Canteen (1944)
The Hollywood Canteen was a club for GIs where Joan Crawford might over- easy you some eggs and John Garfield might scrub out the frying pan. The movie Hollywood Canteen is a snappy, starry salute to that World War II landmark. Dazzle the troops and modern fans in “a great big scrambled vaudeville show with enough talent to have made a dozen fine movies." (New York Herald Tribune)

* Exit Music on Irving Berlin's This is the Army

Damn it. For a second I thought this was an announcement for the Warner Brothers owned TV Series 'Homefront' which happens to be my #1 most wanted DVD of all time.
