"The essential story is hardly what you would expect to see on an American screen. A volcanically burgeoning small-town girl (Betty Hutton) gets drunk and is impregnated by one of several soldiers, she can't remember which. Her father (William Demarest), her younger sister (Diana Lynn), and her devoted 4-F lover (Eddie Bracken) do all they can to help her out. The result is a shambles, from which they are delivered by a 'miracle' which entails its own cynical comments on the sanctity of law, order, parenthood, and the American home....Sturges tells his story according to a sound principle which has been neglected in Hollywood-except by him-for a long time. In proportion to the insanity and repressiveness of the age you live in, play the age as comedy if you want to get away with it."
