Curiosidades
Was an announced movie in "MASH" (1970).

Pifias
Bill Kluggs is described as a phenomenal shot and proudly displays the Sharpshooter badge he earned in basic training on his dress uniform. But the best shooters in the military receive an Expert badge. Sharpshooter is a step down from Expert with Marksman being a step down from that. If he's actually the best shot in his outfit, he should have a higher rating than Sharpshooter.

Citas
William 'Bill' Kluggs: Somehow that stop-off at Loring Field began to stretch out like a visiting mother-in-law.

Unjustly overlooked (and unfairly chopped up) Ford semi masterwork.

This unheralded opus from one of our greatest directors seems both oddly timed, (5 years after the end of combat in WWII), and unfortunately truncated. The thankfully preserved out-takes presented as deleted scenes on the DVD reveal that this may have been intended as Ford's only full fledged musical....which would have stood in strong contrast to his magnum opuses of this period (the beloved cavalry trilogy)...

As it stands the finished edit is shockingly good on all accounts...full of the director's astonishing eye for human detail and subtle performance. It plays like a slightly warmer hearted Preston Sturges wartime wacky fest (with William Demarest cementing the connection by almost reprising his great role in "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek".

The few numbers that remain are a tantalizing glimpse of how delightful a longer cut would have been...and the (incomplete) outtakes are both delicious and heartbreaking...

One has to wonder who decided to edit the film down...and how much more successful (and remembered) it might have been as Ford's big wartime set musical...
