This Precious Freedom
This show celebrates the brave people who helped out at home. It kicks off with the song "Keep 'Em Rolling." Leon Henderson, who runs the O.P.A., talks about how prices are being frozen. Then comes a play called "This Precious Freedom" by Arch Oboler. It's a serious drama about what America would be like if the Nazis had taken over.
Keep 'Em Rolling is a 1934 American drama film, directed by George Archainbaud from a screenplay by Albert Shelby Le Vino and F. McGrew Willis. It starred Walter Huston and Frances Dee and the men of the U.S. Army's 16th Field Artillery Regiment. Filmed partially at Fort Myer, Virginia, with then-Captain Harold W. Blakeley as technical advisor, the story revolves around a World War I field artillery horse named Rodney and his soldier, Benny Walsh. The movie is based on the short story "Rodney" written by Leonard Hastings Nason that appeared on January 21, 1933, issue of the Saturday Evening Post magazine.
