On the opposite side of the road at the other end of the culvert, Major Chuck Horner, whose battalion was to put in the attack, had set up his phones...
...moon overhead, shrouded by wisps of clouds. As the soldiers paused in the column, I said to them: "How you doin'?" A big fellow sighed and answered: "This is tough. Can't sleep in nighttime for moving. Can't sleep in daytime for shelling."

Ann Sothern's modest attempts to imitate Ethel Merman's exuberance are completely frustrated by thoroughly bad direction; an incredibly obnoxious little girl named Jackie Horner should have been left in a corner; and Cole Porter's score, one of his poorest, is hampered by the addition of even worse numbers.
