Thanks Lawrence! I think your earlier comment also came through via email notification, so at least I got a chance to read it ;-)

Crap, I deleted my comment - I think I recommended watching To have and have not (Bogart and Bacall) and High Society (great Louis Armstrong music).

When this movie was made in 1942, the outcome of the war was still very much up in the air. In the "duelling anthems" scene, almost all of the actors and extras doing the singing were actual refugees from the Nazis. That's why that scene is so incredibly powerful -- the emotions and the tears were completely real.
