Ruth Gordon's play is the source of this delightful comedy (written by Oscar® winner Sidney Buchman, 1941, Here Comes Mr. Jordan) about a newspaper reporter who quits to join the Army during WWlI, infuriating his editor and perplexing his wife, a famous noveIist and screenwriter. She moves to a run-down apartment by the base to be near him, and spends more time deaIing with the diIapidated housing than she does with him (he must sIeep in the barracks). To make matters worse: at almost 40, he's having trouble remembering aIl the things he's supposed to be learning. Can the marriage survive? WiIl America win the war without him?
