In charge of shooting this film under Capra, and contributing much of the narration was Jesse L. Lasky, Jr. (here uncredited). He went on to write many Cecil B DeMille films (8 in all). While his father, Jesse L. Lasky was producing the films 'Mark Twain' and 'Rhapsody in Blue', Jesse served three and a half years in the South Pacific and his job in Combat Photographic was to make films for the American public to better understand what was happening to their boys fighting overseas. If the writing seems florid for today's taste, it was evocative then. Jesse came home heavily decorated, and after the war went back to work writing films in Hollywood. Pat Silver-Lasky
