Sinopsis: Después de ser licenciado del servicio en los Marines por padecer fiebre del heno, Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith (Eddie Bracken) se siente demasiado avergonzado para volver a su casa. Algunos de sus compañeros lo animan a inventarse una historia según la cual habría resultado herido en combate. Lo que no se espera es que lo reciban como a un héroe de guerra. (FILMAFFINITY).
AMG SYNOPSIS: It took nerve for writer/director Preston Sturges to lampoon the whole concept of hero worship in the middle of World War II, but once more Sturges' oddball sense of taste and propriety paid off at the box office in Hail the Conquering Hero. Eddie Bracken plays the son of a World War I Marine hero who is the first in his small town to sign up for military service. When Bracken is discharged from the Marines for hay fever, he hasn't the nerve to go home and tell his mother and the rest of the townsfolk. Fortunately, he is befriended by a bunch of good-hearted Marines, led by sergeant William Demarest. Bracken's new buddies decide to help him save face by accompanying him to his home and telling one and all that Bracken has served valiantly in the Pacific. Lauded as a hero thanks to this subterfuge, the hapless Bracken finds himself being coerced into running for mayor! When he finally does confess the truth, the townspeople decide that only a real hero would own up to his lies in public. As always, Preston Sturges' richly varied supporting cast makes the most of every scene they're in, especially Raymond Walburn as a blustering politico and Franklin Pangborn as a persnickety councilman. Special mention must be made of Ella Raines as a refreshingly non-cliched heroine, and ex-boxer Freddie Steele as a morose Marine with a Mother complex. While Eddie Bracken's nerdish mannerisms can wear on the viewer, he is kept marvelously in check throughout Hail the Conquering Hero. -- Hal Erickson
AMG REVIEW: Writer and director Preston Sturges had a keenly satiric eye for the foibles of the average American, which he rarely used with greater precision than in Hail The Conquering Hero, a superbly funny example of satire that doesn't jab but prods gently. Eddie Bracken never worked with a director more sympathetic to his talents than Sturges, and he gives one of his finest performances as the hapless Marine Corps washout Woodrow Truesmith, and William Demarest is great as an often petulant Marine Corps sergeant who helps goad Woodrow into posing as a war hero; like the other members of Sturges' informal stock company, Demarest didn't often get roles as well-written as he had here, and he rose to the occasion admirably. As was often the case in Sturges' comedies, Hail the Conquering Hero sets up a fairly simple comic premise and then allows it to grow like kudzu; what starts as a well-intentioned white lie by Woodrow turns into a mammoth hoax that gets funnier as it grows larger and more improbable (after all, Woodrow looks as likely to live up to his mother's dreams of becoming a war hero in the Marine Corps as he is to be named Miss America). And while, as in most Sturges movies, things don't work out as Woodrow had planned, they do work out for the best; if he isn't exactly heroic, he's good at heart (as one of the Marines who sets the plan into motion points out, he lives by the slogan "Semper Fidelis" as much as any of them, though his loyalty is to Mom rather than the Corps), and if the citizens of his home town seem easily fooled, they're also willing to forgive. If Hail the Conquering Hero shows that regular folks have an amazing penchant for doing silly and absurd things, it's balanced by their basic decency, a balance that keeps the film's satire admirably good-natured even at its sharpest. -- Mark Deming
