"Loose lips sink ships" read the posters. There were other warnings against talking about what was going on during the Second World War. This short film was produced by MGM for the Army to make that point to all ranks: there were German spies around, and any information might lead to the death and destruction of the men and women in the armed forces.... and to civilians too.
It's not just MGM personnel involved in this production. There are performer like Richard Carlson, who worked for Warner Brothers, composers like Daniele Amfitheatrof, whose home studio was Universal. Talent was traded back and forth even during peace time, but during the War, cooperation was heightened. And, we can hope, a few more people kept their mouths shut, and saved a few lives thereby.
