be from the philadelphia suburb and extremely interested in local history and this film provide an excellent vintage view of philadelphia in the 1940s . there be scene of downtown and a train station that no long exists and 30th street station which still do exist and as well a scene from the northeast part of the city . good shot of the old row home a they appear then . the movie get a bit chatty at time cause the viewer to briefly lose interest . but the overall storyline be solid and very move . anyone who enjoy this movie should also try to see the film bright victory and also with local footage of the valley forge army hospital in phoenixville and pa and scene from downtown phoenixville . the army hospital have since become a college campus . neither of these film be out on any format and i can not imagine why . i have them both on vhs from home recording and a show on tcm in recent year . i highly recommend them to any other history buff out there from my area .
