The movie is about a troupe of actors in Occupied Europe who use their acting skills to mess with the Nazis (think Hogan&#8217;s Heroes). <\/p>\n<p>In late 1941, after the filming had finished, Lombard flew to her home state of Indiana with her mother and her press agent and raised money for War Bonds. She raised over <strong>$2,000,000<\/strong> dollars!<\/p>\n<p>She returned home to Gable in January of 1942. When the cross country journey stopped in Las Vegas to re-fuel, passengers were asked to get off the plane to allow 15 U.S. Army Air Corps personnel headed to California ride on the plane in their stead. Most every passenger got off, but Lombard convinced them that she was, in effect, working with the war effort, as well, so she should be allowed to stay. They eventually agreed and Lombard and her mother and her agent boarded the small plane along with the 15 Air Corps men.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the plane never got to Burbank, California, as it crashed soon after leaving Las Vegas. <\/p>\n<p>The release of her last film was delayed a month, and when it WAS released, one line had been removed.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIn the film, Robert Stack plays a Polish pilot who is enamored with Lombard&#8217;s character.
