Martha Wilcox Although this film introduces cinema audiences to Lizabeth Scott, it doesn't have anything going for it. You see Robert Cummings as a married man getting involved in domestic life washing up dishes, but this in and of itself is not advancing the plot. Cummings' acting is fine, but the individual performances do not lift the film. Scott is not easy on the eye even when she smiles. There is an arch at the side of her lip as if she has a bad taste in the mouth. It looks as though she is going to snarl at any minute, and you get the feeling that any happiness that she has will soon die in her face. Maybe if they had cast a better leading lady then her performance would have lifted the film.

PamelaShort Lizabeth Scott makes her film debut in this 1945 light comedy / romance / melodrama story set in World War II. Scott plays Ivy Hotchkiss, a stunning blonde from the treasury department who has been assigned to accompany three rambunctious, fun-loving war pilots on a Savings Bond tour across the US. She soon has her work cut out for her, trying to keep Major Bob Collins ( Robert Cummings ), Captain W. Anders ( Don DeFore ), Lt. R. Janoschek ( Charles Drake ) out of trouble. With all the mischievous merrymaking the three men come up with, Ivy finally gives in trying to keep them in line and comes to really enjoy and care for them. As the tour progresses, Ivy and Bob fall in love, but Collins is really dying of Leukemia and his secret is revealed accidentally by a medical officer to Ivy. The brave pilot has known all along that this Bond tour is his last hurrah. Ivy chooses to stay at his side, without revealing she knows of his condition, thus becoming a tragic heroine. The story sounds sappy on paper and a little dated, but actually the film is well scripted, and the fun-loving foursome are very engaging, and for the most part the film is enjoyable to watch. Lizabeth Scott is very impressive in a role far different from the characters she would play through-out the rest of her career. If you are lucky to have the chance to see this hard to find film, I suggest having a look, I wish I could see it again.

susanj50 This movie begins as a light romantic comedy and ends as a tearjerker. It doesn't work for me. Set at the end of the second world war three hero/veterans of the air-war over Europe go on a war bonds tour with a minder from the Treasury Department who turns out to be a beautiful blonde. After a series of ordinary hijinks the Robert Cummings character marries the Treasury girl. Through happenstance she learns that he is dying of leukemia and we are expected to cry.It is sort of expected that the brave soldier is to die in a war movie, but this is not a war movie. It is a light comedy set after the war. Surely they could have come up with a better plot than to have the young widow hear aircraft over her house and then the voice of her departed husband? But if you like Bob Cummings from his other works, such as "Love That Bob" where he plays another former WWII flier named Bob Collins it is worth seeing. Additionally it is an interesting view of the way our society was in 1945 and for these reasons it should be seen.

Dagomir Marquezi It is amazing how this film starts and how it ends. The very first scenes shows us one silly comedy about three Air Force pilots and one beautiful blonde PR (Scott). But the script makes an U turn and what we see is a very adult and realistic romance. The leading couple - Robert Cummings and Lizabeth Scott - are superb in their roles. And there is little trace of war propaganda, very subtle and always working to move the story. This is a film that could be so vain but manage to explore some deep meanings in romance and life itself. A nice piece of work from screenwriters Ayn Rand and Robert Smith, and director John Farrow. The ending is really touching.
