Attached is an informative article that truly catches the spirit of 1940s Hollywood. You will read about the war-torn Hollywood that existed between the years 1941-1945 and the movie shortage, the hair-pin rationing, the rise of the independent producers and the ascent of Van Johnson and Lauren Becall:
“Lauren, a Warner Brothers property, is a blonde-haired chick with a tall, hippy figure, a voice that sounds like a sexy foghorn and a pair of so-what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it eyes”
Mention is also made of the hiring of demobilized U.S. combat veterans to serve as technical assistants for war movies in such films as “Objective Burma”.
