Movie Review: Tanks a Million (1941)
Synopsis: Dorian Doubleday is a railroad clerk who remembers everything he reads.

However, a group of unruly draftees, an eccentric colonel, and a jealous buck sergeant put his promotion in jeopardy. Who's in it? The movie stars William Tracy , James Gleason , Joe Sawyer , Elyse Knox and Douglas Fowley .
