Set against the background of World War II and featuring the music of The Andrews Sisters 'Private Buckaroo' follows the fortunes of a reluctant army recruit who struggles to adjust to military life until he falls for the charms of a retired officer's daughter.
Comedy legends Bud Abbott and Lou Costello cemented their place in film history with the hilarious wartime comedy classic Buck Privates. After spending years on stage in burlesque and on radio perfecting classic routines such as 'Who's on First?', the duo transitioned to motion pictures at Universal in 1940. In their first leading roles, Bud and Lou play con artists who accidentally enlist in the U.S. Army to avoid going to jail. Making matters worse, their no-nonsense drill sergeant turns out to be the cop who tried to arrest them! Featuring classic routines such as 'Drill', 'Dice Game' and 'You're Forty, She's Ten', the film also starred the popular singing group The Andrews Sisters performing the Academy Award nominated song 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy'. Following the success of Buck Privates, Bud and Lou made an astounding 26 more movies at Universal leaving a legacy of laughter that will be treasured forever.
You Must Remember This is a musical journey through wartime Britain. Remembering songs from the radio from dance bands and music halls from the popular films of the period and from ENSA tours that took British entertainers to the troops this film aims to recapture the spirit of the World War II years through their music and songs. It includes information about the legendary entertainers of the era told through a subtitled narrative along with extracts from the songs they made famous. These songs moving and inspiring in equal measure allow a glimpse into a world at war and the heroic effort of the British people that eventually brought victory and peace.
