    Wartime comedy about an author and her plan to turn a soldier into the leading man of her filmed novel is wonderfully and enjoyable and sprinkled with guest appearances by Hollywood celebrities. This movie moves quickly, is VERY funny and who knew John Wayne could do comedy so well?… More

    Standard rom com but played with zest by the cast, Wayne is relaxed and pleasant, Colbert spunky and best of all Don DeFore is a breezy sidekick.
