Anecdotes
Although it is thought by some that J.D. Salinger got the name for his hero Holden Caulfield in "The Catcher in the Rye" when he saw a marquee for this film, starring William Holden and Joan Caulfield, Salinger's first Holden Caulfield story, "I'm Crazy", appeared in Collier's on December 22, 1945, a year and a half before this movie came out.

Gaffes
Lt. Seacroft wears the insignia of the 15th U.S. Army Air Force and states that he is a Bombardier on a B-26 (Marauder). However, there were no B-26 Bombardment Groups assigned to the 15th USAAF.

Where is the DVD?

One of the most delightfully hilarious movies ever made.

That's not an overstatement. If you've never seen William Holden in a comedy, this film shows how brilliant he was. This is a real gem,and it's simply baffling, to say the least, why it's languished on the shelf somewhere, without having ever been released on VHS or DVD. It's actually quite a relevant film for these times, about a veteran returning from war and a wartime pen-pal correspondence that results in a big mixup. Oddly, you can get the sequel, but not this one. Whoever manages these things, please: make it available for us. Even the classic movie channels haven't shown this.
