CGiii Comment
Cary Grant as a French soldier...no attempt was made with the accent.
Ann Sheridan...no attempt was made to make her likeable.
The joke...Grant in drag in the last few minutes.
Hollywood really did consider the general public (their audience) as DUMB.

The(ir) Blurb...
Captain Henri Rochard of France is assigned to work with First Lieutenant Catherine Gates of the U. S. Army. Through a wacky series of misadventures, they fall in love and marry. When the war ends, Rochard tries to return to America like female war brides could under the auspices of America's 1945 War Brides Act. Zany gender-confusing antics follow.
