| User ReviewJames HI think I must have watched this a hundred times, until I knew every sigh and every word! Wish I could buy it on DVD... not just wait for the re-runs! |
| User ReviewNadine LIt's sad how forgotton this movie has become. Creative story, and a cast that had excellent chemistry make this romantic comedy a must-see. |
| User ReviewHolly CA cute and unique romantic comedy set during WWII in which a trouble-making girl gets her older sister involved with a officer who has been away at war. I don't want to give anything away, so go watch it. Billy De Wolfe and Edward Arnold are great comedic side characters. |
