Louella Parsons says: Spencer Tracy’s back from Honolulu, where he spent three and a half weeks visiting our men in hospitals. “Entertain?” scoffs Spence. “What can I do? I can’t even whistle!”

“Part of the campaign to eliminate Nazi influence in the postwar world is an order from Washington to commanding generals to destroy all films made in Germany since 1933.”
OMG! Not all films made during that time period were Nazi Propaganda. In 1933 alone The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, Viktor und Viktoria, The Burning Secret, The House of Dora Green, and Liebelei were released. All of these films were made by men who had to flee the Nazis. I wonder if this plan was carried out?
