They immediately like each other but he has to go to war and dismised from the theatre she has to earn her living somehow. A very sad and touching film. Nice music, sung by Barbra. The ex-prisoners disguise themselves as priests and some moderately funny sequences take place. They try to stop the fighting but the hatred is too strong.
Wood s singing is dubbed.
The tragic story and wooden execution has little in common with the good-natured and innocent musicals of the 40 s and 50 s. The film was a huge hit at the oscars grabbing ten statuettes. They travel together from N.Y. to Chicago. Their opinions differ about everything but they still seem to be just right for each other. Very funny and witty.
