Pvt. Marion Hargrove - reporting for comedy duty! Robert Walker found his career breakthrough and wartime audiences found something to laugh at with this Hollywood version of real-life journalist Marion Hargrove's waggish bestseller about his army boot-camp experiences. Helping the film earn its stripes - and Hargrove make the transition from draftee to battle-ready PFC - are Keenan Wynn as a barracks schemer, Robert Benchley as a blowhard World War I vet, Chill Wills as the camp top kick and Donna Reed as the girl who makes Hargrove's heart march double time. Fans of See Here, Private Hargrove would see the sad-sack G.I. again, this time on the warfront, in the sequel What Next, Corporal Hargrove?
