Tender Comrade (1943)


TENDER COMRADE  (1943)

    D: Edward Dmytryk
    Ginger Rogers, Robert Ryan, Ruth Hussey,
    Patricia Collinge, Kim Hunter, Mady Christians
A wartime flag-waver about four women who pool their resources to rent a house while their husbands are in uniform overseas. Its patriotic intentions are hard to dispute, but the emphasis on shared sacrifice and collective decision-making would get Dmytryk and screenwriter Dalton Trumbo in hot water later on. Both were blacklisted.
