Watchable mainly because it's one of those Warner Bros. short subjects from the early '40s featuring an interesting cast of stock players: Robert Armstrong, William Lundigan, Herbert Anderson, Henry O'Neill and William T. Orr as the soldier with a chip on his shoulder redeemed by his patriotic commanding officer.
Orr was then an up-and-coming Warner Bros. actor before he became a TV producer and plays the soldier who ends up going AWOL before he is caught. His tough sergeant (Robert Armstrong) has an unbelievable role as a man who's really soft at heart and keeps giving the soldier another chance whatever his shenanigans. William Lundigan is a level-headed army buddy who tries to talk sense into Orr.
Strictly a by the numbers patriotic short that somehow got nominated for a Best Short Subject Oscar. Best aspect is the color photography photographed at the Presidio training center in San Francisco.
