  Wonderful performances from a talented cast and an excellent screenplay from Preston Sturges make this a must see.

  If more proof was needed that Sturges is one of the all-time American screenwriters, look no further. Hail The Conquering Hero is an incredibly witty, astute satire that delves with a great sense of irony into the cult of the "war hero".

  This is, to my mind, a rival to Sturges' "Sullivan's Travels" as his best film. I would show anyone this film as an answer to Capra's corn. If you haven't seen it, run don't walk.

  With Sturges' script, fast-paced dialogue and humor, and a satirical look at hero worship this film has no flaw to be seen.

  Sturges at his most satirical. The writing mastery of Sturges is on full display. With ease he takes swipes at American democracy and patriotism - during the height of WWII, no less - and still manages to make it all fun and endearing.

  Alternates between focusing on politics, the media, military practice, and social mores, its slightly less funny and less focused than Sturges' masterworks. Still wonderful though, perhaps an essential film.
