Tomboy Marjorie Winfield (Doris Day) is excited that William 'Bill' Sherman (Gordon MacRae) is returning home after WWI. She fully expects to marry him right away and meets him in her wedding dress. He intends to make it big before proposing to her.
This may be old fashion even during its time. That's fine by me. There is a relentless wholesomeness to the movie starting with Doris Day. This is a sequel to On Moonlight Bay (1951). Honestly, I don't remember that much from that first movie even though I saw it only a year ago. It's all wholesome light entertainment. It's not meant to be revolutionary or ground-breaking. The songs are all lovely like this movie. The throwaway love triangle is treated as a joke until it becomes useful. I like the little brother's imagination detours. They give the movie chaos which the movie badly needs.
