Army Champions

US (1941): Documentary/Short

This is a rare serious entry in the Pete Smith Specialty series. The film uses the analogy of the speed, accuracy, and teamwork of sports and how these qualities are translated into the weapons training of American soldiers. We watch target practice by US Army personnel with shoulder weapons, mortars, and various artillery pieces. Directed and shot by Paul Vogel; narrated and produced by Pete Smith (unnamed with nomination). (IMDb)
