He even tries to provide a motherly figure in Lewellen's life by dating a mysterious girlfriend, Ellen, who promised one night to rescue Lewellen from life in the rural South should the relationship falter. We later learn that Ellen is in fact Lewellen's aunt, her mother's sister.Lewellen is able to maintain her innocence by finding consolation in playing with her best friend Buddy, idling away her last pre-teen summer with typical outdoor rural pastimes such as swimming in the pond and exploring the woods, meeting a new friend, Grasshopper, while spending the summer with her grandparents. Lewellen is enchanted by her idol, Elvis Presley, who is making a homecoming tour in the South. Her town is one of the venue stops. Lewellen finds that singing Elvis' music is a way to channel her trauma into something constructive and creative.

Problem: Build a movie plot around this: What does Jimmy feel guitly about? the crash of their airplane during the war

A:
This is a zany, screwball comedy of the 1950s where four ex-service men (Edmond O'Brien, Johnny Sands, Richard Erdman, and Steve Brodie) from WWII meet a small, young WAVE, Jean Madison (Wanda Hendrix) or the "Admiral," who is waiting for her fiance to return from Paris. From the beginning when Jimmy Stevens (Edmond O'Brien) catches sight of the Admiral, he begins following her and introducing her to their unique twists of living without officially "working." He seems resolved to allow her to walk out of his life until threatened by Peter Pedigrew, the jukebox king, (Rudy Vallee) for him and his men to "go to work" unless they prevent her from leaving town. Pedigrew's reasoning is simply that his unscrupulous twice-divorced ex-wife whom he admires greatly, Shirley (Hillary Brooke), who promised to marry him again so he can expand his business, met Henry, the Admiral's fiance, on the boat from Paris and is using any means to prevent Henry and the Admiral meeting, therefore, keeping Henry for herself. Other than endeavoring to influence Jimmy's crew back to work while still enjoying the experience of their unique lifestyle, things run smoothly until the Admiral sees Henry with Shirley and finds out that Jimmy and the others had been lying to her the entire time. However, they prove to her by a note written by Shirley that Henry is not completely at fault, and she decides to continue with them increasing the romantic tension growing between her and Jimmy. When they nearly catch Shirley, she escapes thwarting her ex-husband once again and delaying the reunion between the Admiral and Henry, and, from the Admiral's interference with Jimmy's crew, he insists she remain in Pedigrew's care. Nevertheless, she visits them again catching Eddie (Johnny Sands) alone and discovering the secret of his disillusioned love affair with the unseen, Lois. In order to mistakenly help Eddie, the Admiral encourages Mike (Steve Brodie) to go back to boxing until Jimmy charges in informing her that Mike could die because of a war...
