Stars and Stripes Forever is a 1952 American Technicolor film biography of the late-19th-/early-20th-century composer and band leader John Philip Sousa. This 20th Century Fox feature was produced by Lamar Trotti, directed by Henry Koster, and stars Clifton Webb, Debra Paget, Robert Wagner, and Ruth Hussey. The film’s title is taken from Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever”, which has become the best known of his military marches.[2]

While the film’s storyline is loosely based on Sousa’s autobiography Marching Along, the film takes considerable liberties and dramatic license, often expanding and examining themes and passages from Sousa’s book. Two examples: In the film, Private Willie Little (Robert Wagner), is credited with inventing the Sousaphone and naming it after his mentor, but in reality Sousa himself designed the instrument. The inspiration for the film’s title march is depicted in a scene with a voice over by Webb quoting Sousa’s actual description of its creation while he was aboard ship recovering from typhoid fever. In reality, having learned of the sudden death of his band’s manager, Sousa and his wife canceled their European vacation and were returning to the U.S. by steamship when the march came to him.

In the 1890s, Sergeant Major John Philip Sousa, the director of the United States Marine Band, leaves the Marine Corps after his enlistment expires to form his own band. He must do so because he is not paid enough by the Corps to provide for his wife Jennie (Ruth Hussey) and their three children. As a favor for his splendid service, he is allowed to take along Private Willie Little (Robert Wagner), who has invented and plays a new instrument, the “Sousaphone”.

Willie persuades Sousa to go with him to a “concert” where some of Sousa’s songs will be performed. In fact, it is a rowdy music hall, where Willie’s girlfriend, Lily Becker (Debra Paget), is one of the performers. When the police raid the place for indecency (by 1890s standards), the trio barely manage to get away. Willie and Lily immediately begin to fit right in, eventually becoming an extension of the Sousa family.

Sousa forms his band and selects only the finest musicians from around the world. He firmly discourages the married men in the band from bringing their wives along on tour. However, Willie and Lily are deeply in love and are secretly married and tour together in the new band. Late one night, Sousa is shocked when he spots Willie sneaking into Lily’s train compartment. Sousa’s wife has to let him in on their secret.

Sousa’s contract to perform at the Atlanta, Georgia Cotton States and International Exposition in 1895 is canceled by Colonel Randolph (Finlay Currie) because both previous bands proved to be unpopular at the exposition. Sousa heads south anyway. His musicians strike up “Dixie” as the band marches onto the exposition grounds, putting the large crowd in a jubilant, receptive mood. The playlist for Sousa’s twice-daily concerts is announced, and it includes “Dixie”, to be played as often as possible and for all encores. Sousa and his band are heartily welcomed to the Atlanta exposition.

Sousa and his band tour the world, and he is honored with medals by the crowned heads of Europe. When the USS Maine is sunk by an explosion in Havana harbor, precipitating the Spanish–American War, both Willie and Sousa reenlist in the Marine Corps. However, Sousa is kept out of the actual fighting and instead is forced to go on a sea voyage to recover from a bout of typhoid fever. At sea, he begins a new march inspired by the war.

During the rehearsal of Sousa’s new operetta El Capitan, starring Lily, the Sousas receive a letter from Willie in Cuba in which he reveals he was wounded in the knee (his lower left leg is later amputated). Following the end of the war, Willie returns home and recuperates at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Hospital. Willie and Lily attend a small weekly concert held at the hospital. As a surprise, the curtain opens and Sousa and his 50-piece band are revealed. Sousa calls upon Willie to rejoin them on his Sousaphone in a concert for the wounded veterans, their families, and the medical staff. Sousa announces that he has written a new march for all the veterans of the war and that this performance will be its debut.

The band launches into the film’s title march, as we move forward in time to the present day. Battalions of uniformed U.S. Marines march in formation to the martial music. In modern Washington D.C., the ghostly spirit of Sousa leads the United States Marine Band while they perform “The Stars and Stripes Forever” to its rousing conclusion.

Free Western Series: Bonanza – Episode 151 – Alias Joe Cartwright – A stubborn, career army sergeant appears to be his only hope when Little Joe is arrested after being robbed and knocked unconscious by a look-a-like escaped army prisoner and is unable to convince the fort commander that he isn’t the man who has been sentenced to face the firing squad.

Alias Joe Cartwright
Director: Lewis Allen
Writer: Robert Vincent Wright
Stars: Lorne Greene, Michael Landon, Dan Blocker
Genre: Western
Country: USA
Language: English
Release Date: 26 January 1964 USA
Filming Locations: Paramount Studios – 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA

Storyline:
A deft blend of comedy and suspense, “Alias Joe Cartwright” affords series regular Michael Landon the opportunity to play a dual role: His usual characterization of Joe Cartwright, and murderous Army deserter Angus Borden. Mistaken for Borden, Joe is sentenced to a firing squad by martinet Captain Merced (Douglas Dick). But Sgt. O’Rourke (Keenan Wynn) suspects something is amiss, especially when Merced makes it clear that he knows Joe is innocent but is determined to go through with the execution anyway. Throughout the episode O’Rourke’s favorite patsy, the hapless Private Peters (Joseph Turkel), runs himself ragged trying to find out if Joe is indeed who he claims to be. Written on rottentomatoes.com

Reviews:
“Michael Landon takes center stage in this episode of Bonanza as Little Joe has his clothes, horse, and identity stolen by an army deserter played by none other than Michael Landon.

When Sergeant Keenan Wynn and an army patrol find Little Joe on the trail with different clothes and an army horse, he’s taken to the fort where the Captain Douglas Dick says it’s him. Joe manages to persuade Keenan Wynn to try and contact the Ponderosa to verify his identity.

Landon might not have made it, but for Keenan Wynn’s help and for the fact the doppleganger Landon got a bit greedy and decided to hang around and try to cash a bank letter of credit that Lorne Greene gave his son to cash with banker Hugh Sanders.

Not a bad episode at all.” Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

“I like this episode very much, mainly because of the intricate plot and the suspense of it. In it Michael Landon plays Little Joe and the mean and crooked Cpl. Angus Borden, a former soldier; Borden is in cahoots with a mean and crooked Captain Merced who is played by Douglas Dick. Keenan Wynn portrays a boisterous and stubborn Sergeant O’Rourke. Joe Turkel provides humor as he plays the part of the drunk Private Peters. In the story, after he is taking a long trip and has to sleep out on the ground one night, Corporal Borden comes along and knocks out little Joe, switches clothes with him, steals Joe’s horse, and leaves his own with a saddle which, in turn, has an army brand on it. It is at that point that Sergeant O’Rourke and two other soldiers come along and arrest Joe and take him to a nearby fort where Joe learns he will be executed the next morning. As the day rolls on Sergeant O’Rourke does learn that Little Joe is truly who he says he is, does try to help him even though O’Rourke can do only so much for him. Again, Landon does play two parts very well and Wynn puts himself into his role so well himself. See the unforgettable episode.” Written by daviddaphnered on IMDb.com
