Johnny Doughboy
... that former child stars Bobby Breen, "Alfalfa", and "Spanky" played themselves as members of a club of Hollywood "has-beens" in the 1942 film Johnny Doughboy?Source: "Penny's first test comes shortly after her arrival, with the visit of 'The 20 Minus Club,' a group of former child stars who have not enjoyed Ann's continued success" ... "Members of the 20 Minus Club: Bobby Breen, Baby Sandy, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, Spanky McFarland ..." (AFI Catalog of Feature Films)ALT1: ... that Jane Withers, who sings and dances in a fictional U.S. troop show in the 1942 film Johnny Doughboy, performed in more than 100 war bond drives and camp tours during World War II?Source: "...she agrees to headline a musical comedy consisting of former child movie stars on a war bond selling tour. This isn't at all difficult for young Miss Withers, as she has proved herself to be one of our best bond-selling agents and her work at soldiers' camps is known far and wide" (The Brooklyn Citizen); "During World War II (1941-45) she performed in more than 100 bond and camp tours within the United States" (New Georgia Encyclopedia)

- Comment: I came across this page and found that the plot summary had been lifted from the AFI Catalog (or Turner Classic Movies, which reprints the AFI's synopses). Therefore it should be eligible for a 5x expansion per Rule A4.
5x expanded by Yoninah (talk). Self-nominated at 20:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC).
5x times expansion confirmed, long enough, QPQ done, passes earwig, article cited. Could you please rework Alt0 to move the name of the movie to the front of the sentence? --evrik (talk) 20:33, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
