     I Was a Male War Bride
1949  NR  COMEDY  1h 45min
CAST— Cary Grant, Ann Sheridan, Marian Marshall, Randy Stuart, William Neff, Ken Tobey
MUSIC— Cyril J. Mockridge  DIRECTOR— Howard Hawks  BASED ON— I Was an Alien Spouse of Female Military Personnel Enroute to the United States Under Public Law 271 of the Congress (book), by Henri Rochard

     Cary Grant and Ann Sheridan star in this cheerful comedy set in the unfriendly days of WWII. French officer Grant and U.S. officer Sheridan, stationed in Germany, are sent on assignment together. If only they got along together! Anything and everything is a reason for complaint as they traverse the harsh German countryside by motorcycle. But the adventures really begin when the two decide to fall in love. They marry, only to ship out to the U.S. in a comical misadventure. Fans of Cary Grant shouldn’t miss out on this rollicking romp through romance.
