Storyline

Jim and Connie's postwar New York building troubles keep Jim from working on his novel. Ex-WAC from Jim's Army days Roberta moves in, further upsetting Connie but pleasing Jim's friend Ed.

| Trivia | Because the bathing suit that Marilyn wears in the film was so risqué (for the time) and caused such a commotion on the set, director Joseph M. Newman had to make it a closed set while she was filming. See more » |
| Goofs | When Jim joins Charles in the jail cell, twice the inmate in the next cell tells them to shut up, complaining their talk is keeping him awake. Charles then raises his voice to orate his life's story in a session that is to take all night, but the man in the next cell is never heard again. See more » |
