Let's Face It

About This Movie

Let's Face It is this quirky little comedy from 1943 that marries music with a light-hearted tone. Picture a soldier, not just any soldier, but one with a fiancé running a 'fat farm'—the humor practically writes itself. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it fits the era; the charm of the characters and their schemes makes it enjoyable. The three women at the farm cooking up their plan to hire the soldier and his buddies is a fun twist, giving it a layer of social commentary about relationships. Performances are solid, with some catchy musical numbers sprinkled throughout, which adds to the overall whimsical vibe. It's not your typical war film, and that’s what makes it stand out.

Let's Face It has had a fairly low profile over the years, which makes finding good quality prints somewhat challenging. While not widely known, it holds a certain niche appeal for collectors interested in 1940s comedies and the musical genre. Its scarcity and the unique premise lend it an interesting place in the history of wartime films and the evolving portrayal of women during that period.
