This documentary recalls the work of ENSA - the Entertainment National Services Association - which did valuable work during World War II in sending out concert parties and entertainers to the troops (as well as civilians) both on the home and on the war fronts. Headed by Basil Dean, a theater and film producer, the organization was responsible for at least two million shows during a six-year period: some of them were of the highest quality, with big stars such as Noel Coward, Gracie Fields and George Fornby; others were quite simply tatty shows with fourth-rate variety entertainers. Deam himself was much reviled for his efforts; according to his son and grandson, he was criticized for producing too much material of inferior quality, while politicians believed that he used his position too much for personal gain. The documentary contains rarely-seen footage of ENSA performances, involving artistes both famous and not-so-famous; but perhaps its chief virtue is that it gives voice to performers (such as the dancer Joy Denney), now in their nineties, who perhaps have not had the chance to recall on television how much of a contribution they made to the war effort. Often putting themselves at great personal risk, they toured to various theaters of war, giving impromptu performances - for the most part to appreciative audiences, who welcomed the chance for any respite from the rigors of battle. At the end of the war ENSA received scant praise for their efforts; they were excluded from the Victory Parade in London. This documentary emphasizes how important their contribution actually was.
