Bevy of Beauties 22: The Andrews Sisters


Maxene, Patty, and LaVerne, The Andrews Sisters



from Buck Privates (1941)


I happened to catch part of Buck Privates on TCM the other day. Generally, I'm not real big on musical numbers in movies (and even less of musicals) but this one is a lot of fun. Here, courtesy of You-Tube, is a video clip of the Andrews Sisters performing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B" from the film.
