Heroes All was a sentimental documentary of the "lest we forget" school. Using carefully chosen newsreel images of WWI, the producers admonish the audience not to forget the men who fought so long and hard to make the world safe for Democracy. The film was narrated by an anonymous commentator, who tended to swallow his words at times, making the continuity difficult to follow for anyone not familiar with the events depicted. As indicated by a long opening and closing title, the film was not so much a paean to our fighting man as a plug for a best-selling New York newspaper. Coincidentally enough, Heroes All was released on Armistice Day, 1931. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Audrey Scott (Shirley Palmer) is a fun-loving but basically proper college coed, who manages to escape the clutches of one over-eager freshman on a date, only to cross paths with Earl Hastings (Raymond McKee), another young woman-chaser on campus. She vows never to look at another man, except to get even with young Hastings; meanwhile, she's also studying with Professor Ezra Hastings (Raymond McKee), Earl's staid and very proper (as well as very eccentric) twin brother. And as the fact that they look alike causes no end of havoc to each man, as well as those pursuing Earl and respecting Ezra, especially when Audrey decides to get even with the man who humiliated her by switching the numbers on his assigned room. Starting from there, both Hastings' careers at the college go downhill in comical fashion until it all gets straightened out. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide
