Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLana Turner wrote in her 1982 autobiography that during pre-production she received a studio memo of reprimand about missing many of her wardrobe appointments--even though it was Irene who was not showing up. When Turner went to studio head Louis B. Mayer to defend herself, she was told that the memo was a face-saving device for Irene, who was an alcoholic but so valuable to MGM that the studio was willing to bear with her problems and delays.
- GoofsWhen the WACs are on a long march with cadence, they are marching six abreast. The camera pans closer to them, and they are now four abreast.
- Quotes
Lt. Col. Spottiswoode: I'm sorry for you Rand, you've worked so hard to learn so many things so badly.

Featured review
-- but Natalie Schafer plays a wealthy, mindless socialite!
If the ending doesn't draw at least a couple tears from your eye, especially these days, then you're heartless. Bah.
If you like this sort of movie (as do I), you will definitely enjoy this particular example of it. Very well done.
My only regret is that they didn't show enough of the training. Having gone through OCS myself, it's such an overwhelming, life-changing experience (though I don't know about the WACs' OCS) that it was a bit of a cheat that we didn't get to see how it changed the girls, only that it did. I suspect the writer was more concerned about the dynamic between the three main characters, rather than the interaction between each of them and the demands of officer candidate school.
