Four Jills in a Jeep is the (mostly) true story of a four-girl USO team, entertaining American troops overseas.
Kay Francis,
Martha Raye,
Carole Landis and
Mitzi Mayfair play "themselves," recreating their recent whirlwind tour of Europe and North Africa. This wisp of a plot takes a back seat to the musical numbers performed by the four stars, by
Dick Haymes in his screen debut as a singing GI, and by guest stars
Alice Faye,
Betty Grable and
Carmen Miranda.
Phil Silvers,
George Jessel, and
Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra also pop up to do their usual. Very much a time capsule of the War years,
Four Jills in a Jeep was later adapted into a best-selling book, ostensibly written by costar
Carole Landis.
