★★★★★ · actuality film · cashel · 2003-11-04

this film is valuable for the gracious introduction by mrs rooseveldt,wife of the u.s. president....the remaindeer comprises scenes of real women doing real jobs in war time and is antidote to the common hollywood view

★★★ · Thank heaven for women! · Spuzz · 2005-03-21

An okay film about how women are being used to do jobs that men usually do in the production line. Somewhat awkwardly narrated by Eleanor Roosevelt, the film shows us many different wartime jobs being done by women, but the budget (and maybe inexperience) shows in this film.
