Netflix has “Stage Door Canteen” available on DVD. We were a little disappointed in the movie. Partly because of the poor quality of the Netflix reproduction on DVD and partly because of the content. Both the sound and the picture were less than adequate. I suppose the story told was supposed to be secondary to the musical numbers performed by big-time singers, musicians and dancers, but the writers could have put a
little more effort into their work. Some of the acts most appreciated in the Homer household were the Count Basie and Benny Goodman bands and a young Yehudi Menuhin. As the review says, there are lots of cameos by various stars. The most noteworthy is a patriotic speech given by Katherine Hepburn at the finale.
