After leaving the Army after W.W.II, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis team up to become a top song-and-dance act. Davis plays matchmaker and introduces Wallace to a pair of beautiful sisters (Betty and Judy) who also have a song-and-dance act. When Betty and Judy travel to a Vermont lodge to perform a Christmas show, Wallace and Davis follow, only to find their former commander, General Waverly, is the lodge owner. A series of romantic mix-ups ensue as the performers try to help the General.

There are some movies that are just meant to endure, and this is one. Its certainly a movie filled with schamltz, but it is just a classic that I have to watch every year during the Christmas season. Its great on a drab Sunday afternoon with a big bowl of popcorn.
