Tricia M @RT93380843 12/19/2024 Though a “ Propaganda” movie some of the underlying messages have definitely broken through to the 21st Century. Manya’s speech on the death of democracy, I am sure at the time written, was never thought to be a warning to future generations. It’s time to take off the Rose colored glasses and see this movie for the next generation messages it hides. See more Steve D @RT35616104 05/29/2023 Besides the solid acting there isn't enough to it. See more 07/16/2020 This is a perfect example of judging a film in its historical context rather than by current standards. This movie is an ode to lily white America; simple-minded cultural norms of American romance and family life during WWII. The dialogue, scene structure and direction are strictly "home-front" propaganda. But man, Ginger Rodgers was hot!! See more 08/27/2011 Served an emotional purpose during the war, but is an overly melodramatic piece of cinema stapled together with propaganda statements throughout. See more 08/26/2008 It's plainly one of those sympathy women pictures make during the second World War. See more 02/26/2008 Total WWII propaganda. The interaction between the women is fun, but it gets old pretty quickly. See more Read all reviews

Synopsis Jo (Ginger Rogers) works at an aircraft factory during World War II when her husband Chris (Robert Ryan) is called off to fight. Leaning on the support of her friends and co-workers, she suggests that they share a home together in the hopes of saving money. Her friends -- Barbara (Ruth Hussey), Doris (Kim Hunter) and Helen (Patricia Collinge) -- despite all having husbands at war, are extremely different.
