This Is the Army
This is the Army (sh. Ovo je vojska) je američki filmski mjuzikl snimljen 1943. godine u režiji Michaela Curtiza. Predstavlja adaptaciju istoimenog brodvejskog mjuzikla Irvinga Berlina iz prethodne godine, koji je, pak, predstavljao "remake" njegovog mjuzikla Yip Yip Yaphank iz 1917. godine. Kao i teatarska verzija, i film je imao snažan propagandni naboj, odnosno glavna svrha mu je bila potaknuti moral američkih oružanih snaga i domaćeg stanovništva nakon ulaska u Drugi svjetski rat. Okvirna priča prikazuje kako brodvejski plesač (koga tumači George Murphy) ulazi u američku vojsku u Prvom svjetskom ratu te na Zapadnom frontu gubi nogu, ali se kasnije posvećuje porodici prije nego što će njegov sin (koga glumi Ronald Reagan) krenuti njegovim stopama, ali se i priključiti američkoj vojsci u Drugom svjetskom ratu. Film, u kome se, između ostalog, izvodi znamenita Berlinova pjesma God Bless America , doživio je ogromnu gledanost, ali je studio Warner Bros. cjelokupni prihod predao dobrotvornoj organizaciji Army Emergency Relief. Decenijama kasnije su dva člana glumačke postave - Murphy i Reagan - ušli u politiku kao članovi Republikanske stranke; Murphy je od 1965. do 1971. zastupao Kaliforniju u Senatu, a Reagan je postao guverner i predsjednik SAD. Reagan je zbog toga u šali Murphyja zvao "svojim Ivanom Krstiteljem".
