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.
