***SPOILERS*** Nice little human interest movie released in the waning days-April 1945-of WWII about a GI who lost his memory during the fierce fighting in France against the Germans that cost the lives of three of his fellow GI's who's identifies were obliterated when the farm house that they were in suffered a direct hit from a German dive bomber. Taking the name Johnny March the GI learns the identities of his fellow GI's who were killed in the farm house-through their dog tags-and is determined to find out who they are or were thus, by process of elimination, discover who he is in that his dog tag was never found.
Johnny checks out the places where the three other GI"s came from and hit it off with the widow of fellow and dead GI Paul "Mac" Macgregor-in some hick town in rural Connecticut- Sally who after feeling he's a bit strange, in how he acts towards her, takes a kind of shine for him in his lost puppy dog actions. Even though she knows that he'll full of you know what in his claims in knowing her dead husband as a drinking buddy of his.It's later that Johnny checks out the whereabouts of the other two GI's Pvt's. Joe Granowski and Paul Anderson who's relatives he helps out in their problems, in dealing with the mob and the banks, but still not finding out just who the hell he really is.
***SPOILERS*** The happy ending comes when through his fingerprints that and true identity as being that of history Prof. Aldridge who luckily for him as well as Sally who's since fallen madly in love with him is single, as if that really meant anything, so the two can end up getting married and not only end up not living in sin but also able to give their children, if they have any, a proper name. A bit strange on Sally's part in that she ended up happy to find out that her loving husband of some six months was killed so that she can marry the somewhat whacked out in the head Johnny March-aka former history professor and now Captain Charles "Goodtime Charly" Aldridge- whom she barely knew but it did in fact make for a nice ending to the movie.
