Wissenswertes
When Nurse Ryan reports to the Commander of the hospital, she is reporting to Colonel George Beach, who was the actual commander of Brooke General Hospital at Fort Sam Houston where the movie was filmed. That scene was actually filmed in Colonel Beach's office.

Patzer
At several points, Pvt. Allison is seen grabbing Nurse Lt. Ryan, despite her protests, in full view of other officers nearby, and none of them say anything. In real life, had a private treated a lieutenant in that manner, he would have been immediately arrested, hauled to the stockade, and court-martialed for insubordination, disrespect to an officer and, very likely, assaulting an officer. An another point in the film, Allison takes an army staff car and, under the pretense of giving Lt. Ryan a ride to her quarters, takes her on a "sightseeing tour" of Fort Sam Houston. For doing so, he is put on "kitchen police" duty, peeling potatoes. In real life, he would have been charged with theft of government property and, very likely, kidnapping. (Ryan told him several times to take her back to the hospital, but he refused to do so.) These are extremely serious charges and would have resulted in Allison getting sentenced to a very long term in a military prison.

Fair Short from Warner

Soldiers in White (1942)

** (out of 4)

Fair short about a man (William T. Orr) who isn't too happy when he's drafted for WW2 only to be placed in the Army Medical Corps. Once there he doesn't take anything serious other than trying to track down a date with a nurse (Eleanor Parker) but soon something is going to change his mind. This Technicolor short from Warner is pretty boring as it's two-reels could have and should have been cut down to one. What really killed any of the entertainment for me was that I couldn't stand the lead character. Yes, he's suppose to be a jerk and a smart aleck but not once did I feel anything for him other than just finding him very annoying. I also didn't care too much for the nurse who is obviously here for a love interest. The two featured no chemistry and their childish bickering got old very quickly. There's no doubt that, once again, this short was made to give a message and that message is a good one but we didn't need all the childish stuff to get to the end speech. The one major plus is that we get to see Fort Sam Houston is glorious Technicolor and it's this beautiful color that makes this film worth seeing.
