See Here, Private Hargrove

Pvt. Marion Hargrove reporting for comedy duty! Robert Walker found his career breakthrough and wartime audiences found something to laugh at with this Hollywood version of real-life journalist Marion Hargroves waggish bestseller about his army boot-camp experiences. Helping the film earn its stripes and Hargrove make the transition from draftee to battle-ready PFC are Keenan Wynn as a barracks schemer, Robert Benchley as a blowhard World War I vet, Chill Wills as the camp top kick and Donna Reed as the girl who makes Hargroves heart march double time. Fans of See Here, Private Hargrove would see the sad-sack G.I. again, this time on the warfront, in the sequel What Next, Corporal Hargrove?
