It is the spring of 1941 when Gandy Goose's "The Home Guard" is released, nine months exactly before Pearl Harbor. Still, Terrytoons and distributor 20th Century Fox thought this might be a good idea to satirize the developing war that had not yet engulfed our country.
Gandy (Arthur Kay) leaves his girlfriend behind to join the Home Guard, and, while his commanding officer covets said girl, there's a twist at the end of the film.......
Kay would depart a year later, with Tom Morrison (Mighty Mouse) taking over the role of Gandy for the rest of the run.
Rating: B.
