PROBLEM: Fact1: Lieutenant Commander Charlie Madison is cynical and highly efficient adjutant to Rear Admiral William Jessup in London, Fact2: Madison 's job as dog robber is to keep boss and other high-ranking officers supplied with luxury goods and amiable Englishwomen, Fact3: motor pool has lost husband brother and father in war, Fact4: Jessup obsesses Profoundly despondent since death of wife over US Army, Fact5: German artillery shell lands near Madison making him first American casualty on Omaha Beach

SOLUTION: Lieutenant Commander Charlie Madison James Garner, United States Naval Reserve, is a cynical and highly efficient adjutant to Rear Admiral William Jessup Melvyn Douglas in London in 1944. Madisons job as a dog robber is to keep his boss and other highranking officers supplied with luxury goods and amiable Englishwomen. He falls in love with a driver from the motor pool, Emily Barham Julie Andrews, who has lost her husband, brother, and father in the war. Madisons pleasureseeking American lifestyle amid wartime rationing both fascinates and disgusts Emily, but she does not want to lose another loved one to war and finds the practising coward Madison irresistible. Profoundly despondent since the death of his wife, Jessup obsesses over the US Army and its Air Force overshadowing the Navy in the forthcoming DDay invasion. The mentally unstable admiral decides that The first dead man on Omaha Beach must be a sailor. A combat film will document the death, and the casualty will be buried in a Tomb of the Unknown Sailor. He orders Madison to get the film made. Despite his best efforts to avoid the duty, Madison and his now gungho friend, Commander Bus Cummings James Coburn, find themselves and a film crew with the combat engineers, who will be the first sailors ashore. When Madison tries to retreat from the beach, the manic Cummings shoots him in the leg with a Colt.45 pistol. A German artillery shell lands near the limpingrunning Madison, making him the first American casualty on Omaha Beach. Hundreds of newspaper and magazine covers reprint the photograph of Madison running ashore, alone in reality trying to escape from Cummings, making him a war hero. Jessup, having recovered from his breakdown, is horrified by his part in Madisons death. He makes plans to use the heroic death in support of the Navy when testifying before a Senate committee in Washington, D.C. Losing another man she loves to the war devastates Emily. Then comes unexpected news: Madison is not dead but alive and well and at the Allied 6th relocation center in Southampton. A relieved Jessup plans to show him off during his Senate testimony as the first man on Omaha Beach, a sailor. Madison, limping from his injury and angry about his senseless neardeath, uncharacteristically plans to act nobly by telling the world the truth about what happened, even if it means being imprisoned for cowardice. Emily persuades him through his earlier spoken words to her to instead choose happiness with her by keeping quiet and accepting his role as a hero.

PROBLEM: Fact1: Retired arrives in Washington as adviser on housing shortage, Fact2: Connie finds out about new arrangement, Fact3: Connie 's mother married for love and Connie is determined not to repeat mistake, Fact4: Dingle calls Joe to meet him for dinner, Fact5: FBI have been called to investigate Joe thanks to young neighbor

SOLUTION: Retired millionaire Benjamin Dingle Charles Coburn arrives in Washington, D.C. as an adviser on the housing shortage and finds that his hotel suite will not be available for two days. He sees an ad for a roommate and talks the reluctant young woman, Connie Milligan Jean Arthur, into letting him sublet half of her apartment. Then Dingle runs into Sergeant Joe Carter Joel McCrea, who has no place to stay while he waits to be shipped overseas. Dingle generously rents him half of his half. When Connie finds out about the new arrangement, she orders them both to leave, but she is forced to relent because she has already spent the mens rent. Joe and Connie are attracted to each other, though she is engaged to bureaucrat Charles J. Pendergast Richard Gaines. Connies mother married for love, not security, and Connie is determined not to repeat her mistake. Dingle happens to meet Pendergast at a business luncheon and does not like what he sees. He decides that Joe would be a better match for his landlady. One day, Dingle goes too far, reading aloud to Joe from Connies private diary, including her thoughts about Joe. When she finds out, she demands they both leave the next day. Dingle takes full blame for the incident. Connie allows Joe to remain in the apartment as he has only a few days before being shipped out to Africa. Joe asks Connie to go out with him. She is reluctant to do so, but decides to go if Pendergast does not call for her by 8. At 8, she and Joe are ready to leave, but her noisy teenage neighbor seeks her advice and delays her until Pendergast arrives. Joe spies on the two of them from the window. When the young neighbor asks what he is doing, Joe flippantly tells him he is a Japanese spy. Dingle calls Joe to meet him for dinner. There, Dingle bumps into the couple Pendergast and Connie and pretends he is meeting Connie for the first time, forcing Joe to do the same. Dingle engages Pendergast in talk about his work, eventually maneuvering him up to his room so that Connie and Joe can be alone together. Joe takes Connie home. The two talk about their romantic pasts and even kiss. From their separate rooms, Joe confesses that he loves her. She tells him she feels the same way, but refuses to marry him, as they will soon be forced apart when he leaves for Africa. Their talk is interrupted by the arrival of the FBI, who have been called to investigate Joe for spying, thanks to the young neighbor. Joe and Connie are taken to FBI headquarters. They identify Dingle as a fellow occupant who can testify that they are only roommates. Dingle arrives, bringing Pendergast as a character witness. It comes out during questioning that Joe and Connie live at the same address. When they ask Mr. Dingle to tell Pendergast that their living arrangement is purely innocent, he denies knowing them. Outside the station, Dingle admits he lied to protect his reputation. Taking a taxi home, they discuss what to do to avoid a scandal. Connie grows angry when Pendergast thinks only of himself. When another passenger in the shared cab turns out to be a reporter, Pendergast runs after him to try to stop him from writing about their cohabiting situation. Dingle assures Connie that if she marries Joe, the crisis will be averted, and they can get a quick annulment afterwards. The couple follow his advice and wed. Returning home, Connie allows Joe to spend his final night in her apartment. As Dingle had foreseen, Connies attraction to Joe overcomes her prudence. Outside, Dingle puts up a card, showing that the apartment belongs to Sgt. and Mrs. Carter.
