Absolute perfection. I cannot believe that The Miracle of Morgan's Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero were released seven months apart. Eddie Bracken is hilarious, and the script is flat-out brilliant. William Demarest is an unsung comic genius.
I watched Hail the Conquering Hero on the Criterion Channel as part of the Preston Sturges series. It's leaving the channel on May 31, but you can always rent this gem somewhere else. And you should.
