This Is the Army
-- Patriotic musical using Irving Berlin's songs from his World War I Army show as recycled for a World War II edition. Director Michael Curtiz blends fact and fancy by restaging the 1917 original with a cast headed by George Murphy and then films the new version with the 1943 Army cast headed by Ronald Reagan as Murphy's son. Standout is Berlin singing one of his own numbers but the flagwaving rhetoric keeps getting in the way of the music and comedy. (A-I) (br)
