Hollywood Goes to War is packed with actors and directors from Hollywoods heyday in Academy Award-winning films, documentaries and more. Review This collection of star-lit and Academy Award®-winning documentaries assembled by motion picture specialists from the National Archives is evidence of moviemaking at its best. Iconic Hollywood directors and leading actors combined their talents to create films that not only stoked the fires of patriotism during war, but also addressed social and political challenges that were to define the decades ahead. The U.S. now had a new weapon in its arsenal that proved to be as potent as its air power or sea power...star power. --Marcia Kolko, Archives Specialist, Motion Picture, Sound & Video Office, National Archives and Records Administration
