But a combination of stupidity, alcohol, and carelessness causes the secret to slip out in bits and pieces, which the enemy has no trouble piecing together. One of the better examples of "a slip of the lip can sink a ship". Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.

My children (7 & 10 years of age)completely enjoy the silliness and express their understanding of the moral of each cartoon short. I wish that more children could have the opportunity to see these cartoons with a careing adult to explain the stereotypes and why things were as they were.

The Suessian imprint is all over this short as it is done entirely in couplets. SNAFU has a secret, one that he's not giving out. Yet, he gives out bits and pieces and spies are everywhere, keeping with wartime paranoia. The film is replete with stereotypes of the enemy, yet there is still something timeless about the humor. The best part is the when SNAFU gets drunk, and we see his insides while Stalling plays a bit of the A-strain of "Powerhouse".
