No, this is not some Russian comedy staged during World War 11. That's what I thought it was about when I saw the title of this 1943 film.
Instead, we get a nicely crafted story with Ginger Rogers and Robert Ryan, a young idealistic couple, whose plans are thwarted by World War 11. Yes, this is another home front picture.
Several women decide to live in the same house when their spouses go off to war.
Definitely a tribute to the human spirit. Flashbacks are well done to show that the problems that Ryan and Rogers encountered with their marriage mean nothing when our country called upon its citizenry to create their finest moments.
While the movie ends on a down note, Rogers' final lines may be regarded as a bit too preachy; however, they were needed and served the country well during one its many critical periods.
