Show Business at War is a short film made by The March of Time in 1943 to tout the United States film industry's contribution to the Second World War effort. It was a collaboration between several studios, directors and actors.
Al Jolson sings “Mammy”; Phil Baker asks the $64 question; Kay Kyser gives a clue; Rochester upsets his boss Jack Benny while Mary Livingstone taunts him and Don Wilson laughs. Charlie McCarthy gets in Bergen’s hair, or tries to find it. Darryl Zanuck, a colonel in the Signals Corps, and only recently back from North Africa, and John Ford, a Commander in the Navy, also doing photographic work on many fronts, are featured too.
