wartime extra
2 September 2023
Six people are carpooling on the way to the munitions factory. They recall their past. One was a lounge singer in the French Resistance. One was a race car driver. One was a prison warden. One was Miss America. Finally, one is an intellectual who turn on, tune in, drop out.

This is a wartime propaganda B-movie. It is distinguished by the varied story telling of the five characters. I'm guessing that it's meant to show the variety of people pulling together for the greater cause. In that sense, this becomes more than the total of its parts. It does nevertheless feel like an extra in the pantheon wartime films.
