Parachute Battalion (Movie)

Movie: Parachute Battalion (1941)

Pearl Harbour hasn't happened yet, but just in case something as unthinkable as an enemy attack on American soil were ever to happen, a recruitment drive to attract America's best; young, clever, athletic and brave, into the armed forces, to create a battle-ready America is under way. This film; half documentary, half fiction, follows the fortunes of three new paratrooper recruits. Army brat, Bill Burke, footballer Donald Morse, and backhills hick, Jeff Hollis, played by Buddy Ebsen, foreshadowing his role at Jed Clampett in the Beverley Hillbillies.

Directed by Leslie Gooodwins. Robert Preston, Nancy Kelly, Edmond O'Brien, Harry Carey, Buddy Ebsen
