U.S., 1943
Directed by George Stevens
With Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea, Charles Coburn
Approx. 104 min. DCP.


Thanks to the wartime housing squeeze in D.C., government agent Joel McCrea and highly eccentric Charles Coburn (Oscar®, Supporting Actor) end up sharing the same apartment with already engaged Jean Arthur — and then things really get complicated. “Drew on wartime headlines in the lightest possible way [to create] one of the era’s most sophisticated home-front comedies.” – Mark Harris, author of Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War
