Product Description: Joan Caulfield (Blue Skies) and William Holden (Sabrina) star in this delightful romantic comedy based on the Broadway play by Norman Krasna (White Christmas, Indiscreet). Teenager Miriam Wilkins (Mona Freeman) is an energetic activist during World War II, involving her family in causes without first gaining their consent. Her parents (Edward Arnold and Mary Phillips) are puzzled when young Lieutenant Bill Seacroft (Holden), on leave from the Italian front, appears at their home asking for their 22-year-old daughter Ruth (Caulfield). Unbeknownst to all, Miriam has been writing letters to Bill and signing Ruth’s name as part of a program to keep up soldiers’ morale. Although Ruth has just gotten engaged to her co-worker (Billy De Wolfe), she agrees to see Bill and pretend she wrote the letters. Holden and Caulfield light up the screen in this box-office hit of 1947 that “bubbles and sparkles its way into your heart” (The New York Times)!
