“Like taking a nun on a roller coaster ride… one of Hollywood’s most violently funny comedies.”
– James Agee
HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO
(1944) Eddie Bracken’s 4-F Woodrow Truesmith is railroaded into returning to his small town as a war hero — and unwillingly thrust into a nightmare of cheering throngs, political campaigns and guilt-ridden mother love. Approx. 101 min. 35mm.
