Fall Film Series

Hail the Conquering Hero
Friday, October 22 | 8 pm
Museum Auditorium

Hail the Conquering Hero   



















We say sayonara to Japan this week and begin a film series reflecting on the work of Norman Rockwell and his American Chronicles. Marsha Orgeron of the NCSU Film Studies Department will introduce a classic Preston Sturges comedy that brims with screwball affection for the almost-perfect small town.

Hail the Conquering Hero

(1944) Written and directed by Preston Sturges. Eddie Bracken, William Demarest, Ella Raines. (101 min.)

Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesdale, a fluttery 4-F, dare not disappoint his mother by returning home after being ejected from the service for hay fever. Some tough Marines back from Guadalcanal hatch a plot creating small-town comic mayhem. One of Sturges’s perfect comic gems. “A scathing delight.”—Jonathan Rosenbaum, film critic
