This Is The Army (1943) is another of those WW II musicals with one twist; you see one of the larger Warner Bros, stages:
This fantastically crowded! A tramp freighter set on the left; an orchestra set in the middle top; lots of strange goings-on in the rest of the middle; and a sailing ship set on the right.
What else can one find?

I see there's the same shot, with a slightly different trim, on The Errol Flynn Blog - and this is Kevin Wedman's description there:
| Quote: | | Due to the lack of a sound stage large enough to accommodate the full scale ships used in the production (of "The Sea Hawk"), the studio built a new sound stage that covered a specially constructed artificial lake-water tank. The ships were 165' and 135' and surrounded by water twelve-feet deep. This photo was taken at Warner Bros Studios sound stage in 1943 while filming "This is the Army," one can clearly see the set of the military chorus singing. Now, If you go to the right side of the photo, you will see the the stern of the Albatross in skeletal form. This photo will give you an idea on how large these sound stages are. A terrific behind-the-scenes photo. |
