  • ""Hollywood goes to war! With America's involvement in Wold War II came a surge in patriotism that filled the big screens all over the country. "Movies of the 1940's" takes an affectionate look at the films of this memorable era with segments from His girl Friday, The Sea Hawk, It's a wonderful life, The stranger, My favorite Brunette and a host of other greats. Also highlighted are the beginnings of the TV craze with a flag-waving salute by Bugs Bunny, and a hilarious battle of wits between Bob Hope and Lana Turner."
