It discharges an obligation to the Louis Bromfield original by drawing a fine distinction between the robber barons of the '90s, who robbed each other, and the Wall Street wolves of the '30s, who robbed widows and orphans. Another distinction that may strike audiences as more valid is that the barons (most of them) ended up in mansions on Fifth Avenue and the wolves (some of them) in Sing Sing cells...
...overseas-duty amendment to the bill creating the women's reserve. (WACs have long been overseas.)

When a high-school graduating class sings America the Beautiful, the voices are touchingly inchoate, the singers' faces as stolidly reverent, and the shot of the Lincoln statue which begins the song and the meowing cat which ends it, are a deft, valid blend of showmanship, humor and yard-wide Americanism. The wounded men in Since You Went Away really look wounded, for almost the first time in a U.S. fiction war film. There are scores of such evidences of a smart showman's eye, mind and heart. Added up, they give...
