Tropes for the film:

- The Film of the Play: Based on the Play of the same name.
- Last Wish Marriage: Johnny Jones marries his girlfriend before being sent overseas, which at the beginning of the film he's against doing.
- Reveille: In the early portion of the film, which takes place during World War I, Reveille is blown by an actual bugler magnified through a giant megaphone so the whole camp can here. During the World War II section of the film it's played from a recording through a PA system.
- Tagline: "It's you own army - in the army's own show!".
- Wartime Wedding: The soldier and his girlfriend nearly don't get married for fear of leaving her a single mother, but in the end she convinces him to marry her anyway.
