Films
The Army's collection of films and photographs
that constituted the Army Motion Picture Depository are now in the
National Archives in College Park,
Maryland. NARA describes its collection and provides contact information
for the archives.
There are a few films that are particularly well
remembered from Army Pictorial Center. Among these are John Huston's "Let There Be Light" and the entire
"The Big Picture"
television series. This is not a filmography, just bits of information
about the memorable films that have come to hand.
While
the Army was producing training films at the Signal Corps
Photographic Center, many of the same talents were at work in
Hollywood, making films for and about the war effort.
Over 340
episodes of
The Big Picture
are available at Amazon.com, according to
retired
Master Sergeant Carl Mueller, who comments on this
groundbreaking television series.
