Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home. This is a free public event, but registration is required. CLICK HERE to register.
Synopsis:
FOUR JILLS IN A JEEP (1944) is a star-studded musical and a cinematic tribute to the successful USO tour of Kay Francis, Martha Raye, Mitzi Mayfair and Carole Landis who entertained soldiers from England to North Africa. Embellished with some fictional romance, striking choreography and plenty of laughs, this patriotic film salutes all the entertainers who did their part for "the boys." The film also includes special appearances by Alice Faye, Betty Grable, Carmen Miranda, George Jessel and the Jimmy Doresy Orchestra.
