Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Main Street on the March! is a 1941 short film (20 minutes) directed by Edward Cahn and produced by John Nesbitt.It is a quasi-documentary about the run-up to World War II. The film shows the regular people of a regular small American town. Their sleepy small-town life is disturbed by reports of war in Europe, and worse, a Nazi victory over France. The people of the nameless town do their duty, pitching in for the preparedness effort. That preparedness, as supported by Franklin Roosevelt, includes a massive build-up of the American armed forces: building hundreds of new ships, building tanks, building planes, and drafting million of men into an army that once numbered only 160,000 and did tank exercises by writing "TANK" on the side of random trucks. Finally, war comes with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but thanks to Americans on main streets all over the country, the United States is ready.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })This film was originally meant to be propaganda for building up the armed forces, but when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor while it was being made, the ending was changed to show America going to war.

Narrator: John Nesbitt produced many short films for MGM in this era, and most of them were just like this, having action but little to no dialogue. Instead, Nesbitt always narrated the story.

Everytown, America: Deliberately evoked with a generic town and a generic Main Street. The narrator says that in San Francisco the street would be Market Street and in Chicago it would be Michigan Avenue.
