After a long day of school, all I really want to do is curl up into my bed with the christmas lights twinkling up above me, a bowl of cheerios, a pile of blankets, my dog, and access to Netflix at my fingertips.

Greeting customers with a smile and a sparkly attitude is…

Some claim that Winston Churchill said this film did more for the Allied war efforts “than a flotilla of destroyers,” since it helped convince America to join the fight in WWII. And that was the goal of this film all along. It’s essentially propaganda aimed toward convincing America to abandon its isolationist policy.
