Biff and Jeff, two American G.I.'s on furlough in Australia during The Second World War, are enjoying their time the way most soldiers on leave do. When they meet the beautiful Joyce, however, they both fall head over heels for her, and start competing for her attentions. As their R&R time begins to run out, the schemes they each come up with to win her affection and foil the other's plans to do the same become more and more outrageous.
Acting
William Bendix's loud, lovable doofus energy carries every scene.
Production
Fake Australia filmed in California — the accents are a journey.
Director
Allan Dwan
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Despite being set in Australia, the film was shot entirely in California with imported eucalyptus trees to sell the illusion.
This was Allan Dwan's wartime comedy phase — he directed three military farces in two years, basically inventing the 'horny soldier' genre.
