      Marguerite 'Maggie' King: You know, soldiers on sentry duty aren't supposed to talk.

      Skid Johnson: What can they do to me? They can fire me. All right, I've already quite. I'm all washed up in the army. This is my last day. Say, there's an idea - we oughta celebrate.

      Marguerite 'Maggie' King: Yeah, the army will probably do the celebrating!

    In Sore Need of Intense Restoration

    What a shame this beautiful film with Carole Lombard & Fred McMurray has been allowed to deteriorated to such a low level; two of my favorited Hollywood stars. Emotional. Seen on TCM 06/Oct/2020.
