      The twelfth of twenty-eight Blondie movies starring Penny Singleton as Blondie Bumstead and Arthur Lake as Dagwood Bumstead.
    • Goofs
      While Dagwood's civilian clothes are too loose for Pvt. Smith, the Private's uniform fits the taller Dagwood perfectly..
    • Quotes

      [Blondie has observer duty at the local dam]

      J.C. Dithers: A wife's place is in the home... and not by a dam site!

    It's a balancing act supporting the war and working back at home!

    Dagwood's boss, Mr. Dithers' wife is hosting nine soldiers in their home and the office phone is ringing off the hook! Dagwood takes his work home to work in quiet...only his home is invaded by The Housewives of America.

    "Mr. Dithers will understand that our country comes first."-Blondie

    And the next thing you know in an act of demonstrating first aid...Dagwood is all trussed up in bandages.

    This is a huge add for the war...war bonds, first aid, etc. Released in 1942 at the height of America's involvement in WWII.

    "She's devoting her life to the welfare of others."-Dagwood

    This is a classic Blondie performance by Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake. Fans from all over will love it!
