Bill Pettigrew has
enlisting in the military for WWI.
He is sent to New York for his basic training and he meets actress and singer Daisy Heath. Her car is taking her to the theater on
Broadway and it almost runs him over.
Daisy agrees to pretend she is Bill’s girlfriend so he can impress the
other soldiers. Her boyfriend Sam
Bailey is starting to get a little jealous of all the attention she is receiving from Bill. A side benefit is that Daisy and Sam
realize how much they really care about each other. Bill comes by to say goodbye to Daisy and tell her he is
being shipped out. Bill asks Daisy
to marry him before he leaves.
Bill Pettigrew is
from Texas and he’s never met anyone like Daisy before. She is so shiny and bright!! This is an interesting movie with a lot
of emotions. WWI was rough for
anyone who had to fight. Everyone
leaving to go overseas was worried about not coming back. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
