Hail the Conquering Hero (1944)

Elizabeth Patterson: Aunt Martha

Quotes 

• Libby's Aunt : [comforting Libby, who's crying about Woodrow's return]  Well, that's the war for you. It's always hard on women. Either they take your men away and never send them back at all; or they send them back unexpectedly just to embarrass you. No consideration at all.

• Mrs. Truesmith : Why can't you wear your uniform for a little while?

  Libby's Aunt : You look so nice in it.

  Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith : I just got through explaining it's against regulations.

  Mrs. Truesmith : Well, I think that's perfectly ridiculous.

  Libby : So do I.

  Mrs. Truesmith : Your grandfather wore his Civil War uniform the rest of his life.

  Libby's Aunt : Kept having new ones made.

  Mrs. Truesmith : Said it helped remind people that brother fought brother.

  Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith : [looking at Sgt. Heppelfinger]  Well his case was different!
