Movie: Buck Privates (1941)
Trivia: This film took in $4 million (at a time when theater admission ranged between 10 cents and 25 cents), more than either Citizen Kane (1941) or How Green Was My Valley (1941).
Goofs: Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the song “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” during Patty Andrews’ solo, she claps her hands at the end of the line, “He can’t blow a note ’til the base and guitar’s playing with him,” but the slap sound effect misses her gesture by full beat.
“Bud and Lou enlist in the army in order to escape being hauled off to jail, and soon find themselves in boot camp. To their dismay, the company’s drill instructor is none other than the cop who was all set to run them off to the hoosegow in the first place! The boys end up having a whale of a time getting under the skin of their humourless nemesis. Written by Alfred Jingle”
