In the same year as her most relevant war time feature film came out, Watch On The Rhine, Bette Davis took some time to pitch for War Bonds, both in and out of character.
Bette is first seen playing a scene as a mother who gives her children war bonds for Christmas, saying that this is a sacrifice they must make. Especially since their father is one of the soldiers fighting for America on a foreign field.
AFter the scene is done, we then shift to Bette Davis now out of her character and herself making a pitch for war bonds and telling a tale not altogether different from the character she has just played.
The whole short is an interesting bit of World War II historical nostalgia.
