Certainly not a classic but still a thoroughly entertaining film. I posted about this film some time back and still amazed that a few inmates did not know who Benny Goodman's "girl singer" was. (The great Peggy Lee, of course.)The ending is intentionally emotional. I'm sure it grabbed the audiences in 1943.
Another movie that's somewhat similar is "Hollywood Canteen." It was also made in 1943. It's not as good a story as "Stage Door Canteen" but some of the acts are better known.
I have the original 135 minute version of "Stage Door Canteen." Do you have that or the 94-minute television cut? The longer version is more cohesive and is, imho, thoroughly superior to the shorter version.
