Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy's act used on Muppet Babies
Stage Door Canteen is a 1943 musical drama film based on the New York City establishment of the same name. Set during the events of World War II, the film centered around romantic entanglements between soldiers on leave and some of the female staff of the canteen.
The film boasts a wide array of celebrity appearances, from quick cameos of Johnny Weissmuller and Harpo Marx, to full stage performances by Ethel Merman and Edgar Bergen (with Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd).
