The housing shortage in wartime Washington makes a young woman (Jean Arthur, pictured right) share her apartment with two men (Joel McCrea, Charles Coburn) who decide she is about to marry the wrong man.

Charming romantic comedy, marred for some by Jean Arthur's overacting. She's noticeably better when unbending towards Joel McCrea than early on, when playing the prim control-freak. The plot eventually runs out of steam, but there are many enjoyable set-pieces along the way. McCrea gives a fine, unselfish performance - arguably his best. Remade, not nearly so effectively, as Walk Don't Run (1966).
