The Shining Future (1944)

Herbert Marshall: Herbert Marshall

Quotes 

• Herbert Marshall : Hello Canada. What you're about to see is an imaginative glimpse into the future - a Hollywood view of the year 1960.

• Herbert Marshall : One thing I do know - most of us are doing too much thinking about 'after the war'. Too many of us are thinking and talking and acting as though it was all over, right now, or just a matter of days or weeks at most. Right now, this minute, our finest young men are fighting for our peaceful homes. The security of our children. The right to live and think as we please. Certainly they're fighting for a shining future, but they're doing their fighting today. And those boys, they're not saying, "I don't think I can make it this time. I did my part in yesterday's battle. Maybe I'll feel more like fighting tomorrow, or next month." No, they're giving all they've got - right now. So it looks as though we're being asked to do awfully little - to put our money where it can make more money for us. Well, I don't know what I can say beyond that, except to ask every one of you to remember when your Victory Loans salesman calls on you to buy more bonds than ever before.
