Four Jills in a Jeep

Colin and I rented Four Jills in a Jeep last night.
It was so entertaining, and was one of the first full length motion pictures with an all female leading cast!
The plot follows Kay Francis, Carole Landis, Martha Raye and Mitzi Mayfair (who all play themselves) through a USO tour in England and north Africa during WWII. The story is a jazzed up version of a USO tour these four ladies took in real life!
A dance scene from the movie... this super short clip was all I could find on youtube
This is totally work renting if you like musicals and forties costuming... such an entertaining friday night...
