This is way too corny even for me. Even with an animated sequence by an uncredited George Pal, you're still likely to risk diabetes from the sheer large dollops of sweet here. There's a big-ass patriotic number at the end, too, even though Pearl Harbor was still a long way off when this was being shot. No wonder audiences went for darker, more cynical stuff as soon as WW2 was over
