40's movies marathon - part 38

Air Force (1943, USA) - Wholesome pilots set out for the Pacific. Watched: 8 minutes.
Thousands Cheer (1943, USA) - The patriotic war musical is a repulsive concept. Patriotic war movies can be good. So can musicals. But mix them together, and the result is quite demonic. Watched: 8 minutes, then fast-forwarded through the musical numbers, which were all spawned in the hell-pit of Satan.
The Man from Down Under (1943, USA) - An Australian soldier adopts two orphans after the Great War, because one of them is good at boxing. That seems like a unbelievable thing to do. Watched: 11 minutes.
I Walked with a Zombie (1943, USA) - I can't figure out these old zombie movies, where the zombies are just reanimated corpses without a will of their own. This one aims for a classy feel, as if there's a message here, possibly about slavery. Watched: 17 minutes.
Stage Door Canteen (1943, USA) - I have a horrible suspicion that those troops on the train are headed into a patriotic war musical. Dear God no! Watched: 6 minutes.
