- TriviaBefore Las Vegas became easily accessible, the state of Maryland was a haven for people who wanted to get married with a minimum of restrictions. Many couples in movies went there to get married quickly. In addition to this film, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn eloped to Maryland in Woman of the Year (1942), and Rock Hudson and Doris Day woke up in a motel in Maryland legally (to their surprise) married in Lover Come Back (1961).

Featured review
This is a very well-made and enjoyable film. While not exactly a wonderful film, it is very worth watching and an excellent example of Cary Grant's acting and charm. It's a wartime propaganda film that takes a different slant--instead of being heavy-handed and centering on war, it focuses on a con man who thinks he's slick for avoiding the draft--fighting is only for "suckers". As the film progresses, his unshakable bravado suddenly becomes shaken when he meets lovely Loraine Day. Somehow, she gets through to this charming jerk and he knows he can't continue as he's been doing. It's an interesting character study and a welcome change from the usual.
