A war time propaganda film from bob hope. Don't get me wrong; total props to bob h for entertaining the troops during world war two. Here, bob and his sidekick dorothy lamour, star with donald macbride, his loud, blustering boss at the newspaper. Macbride had worked with the marx brothers and so many others in comedic roles. Kittredge (hope) can't seem to get anything right as a reporter, so he needs to prove himself to keep his job. So when the germans get the ally notes, and the girl who wrote the notes, it's up to kittredge to get them back. You'll also see donald meek and otto preminger in here. Even the amazing flo bates, as the gypsy card reader. It's all a comedy, in true bob hope form, with a war time plot. Is kittredge really married, or not? He can't remember! One of his farces, with a serious back story. All in good fun. It's a great example of weaving a serious story in with comedy. Directed by david butler. He and hope worked on so many projects together.
