Synopsis
A bubbly small-town girl attends an all-night send-off party for departing soldiers and wakes up married and pregnant with no recollection of her husband's real name, aided by her stuttering childhood admirer. Preston Sturges' riotous, subversive comedy that daringly evaded the Hays Code censorship board.
