...hmmm. Coming at a time when most Americans are thinking about death in battle, Tender Comrade makes an arduous pretense of facing that tragic fact. But most of the film is a low-gear report about the hard times and good times of War Wives Rogers, Patricia Collinge, Kim Hunter, Ruth Hussey and Mady Christians.
