Here's another batch of ads for movies playing across the country on or about D-Day, June 6, 1944: In Shreveport, Louisiana, Erich von Strohiem starred in the B-horror picture The Lady and the Monster, based on the novel Donovan's Brain. It was remade more famously under the novel's title in 1953 with Lew Ayres and Nancy Reagan (known then as Nancy Davis); Uncertain Glory, a wartime thriller, was playing in Tucson, Arizona.
Waterloo, Iowa had a reissue of Disney's Snow White--oddly paired with a Nazi melodrama,
The Yellow Canary.
The appropriately celebratory military musical This
is the Army by Irving Berlin was in Provo, Utah, along with what seems to be a lost B-comedy, The Good Fellows.
