Cary Grant plays a gambler and con artist who dodges the draft and takes on a dead man's identity. Under this new identity, he tries to rip off a war relief charity. But falling in love with pretty Laraine Day and getting a letter from the dead man's mother in Greece stirs his conscience and makes him want to do the right thing.
Wonderful wartime dramedy with Runyanesque touches. Love the rhyming "Australian" slang and the knitting gags. Cary Grant is terrific and has great chemistry with charming Laraine Day. Gladys Cooper, Alan Carney, Henry Stephenson, and Charles Bickford are all good support. This is a very underrated movie in Cary Grant's exceptional career. Most lovers of older films can probably name a dozen classics of his they cherish but many have probably never heard of this one. Definitely recommended, especially for Grant fans.
