https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/watch/7b30fa56-c040-49c4-9060-7237ef15ec23 Released in August of 1940, Service with the Colors is a Warner Brothers-produced Army recruiting short. The film focuses on new Army recruits prior to the U.S. entry into World War II. They are assigned to the Presidio in San Francisco and put under the command of Sgt. Clicker for their basic training. One of the recruits, Chuck Corbin, has something of a chip on his shoulder and doesn't seem to fit in. The Sergeant is patient and helpful and helps him along. As they improve their skills and enjoy their time off, Chuck ends up spending time in the guard house and decides to desert. When he puts his life on the line to save some of his friends, he's given a break and takes on a new more positive attitude. Make sure to take a good look at the end of the film which contains wonderful images of the San Francisco World's Fair site on Treasure Island, in glorious Technicolor. There's also views of the Golden Gate Bridge at the 12 minute mark. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
