While stationed at Fort Ethan Allen from September 9 to October 19, 1943, between the First Special Service Force’s Aleutian and North African assignments, Snook saw a number of films both on base and at Burlington Vermont’s theatres. He frequently mentions them to Gee with brief and often negative reviews, which have been collected here.
