Iconic movies like “Double Indemnity” and “Meet Me in St. Louis” hit the silver screen, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats or swooning in their seats. On the radio, people were grooving to hits like “Swinging on a Star” and “I’ll Be Seeing You,” providing a bit of relief from the chaos of the war. While television was still in its infancy, people were drawn to the small screen for news updates and comedic relief during such tumultuous times.
