...Somewhere I'll Find You" is the tale of war correspondent Johnny Davis, his kid brother, and their little blonde companion, also a newspaper worker, who takes turns in engaging herself with the Davis boys in all sort of friendly positions.

...better-than-average plot, and the mustached hero is his usual charming self. Miss Turner's bodily presence in an assortment of gay dresses and one bath towel is enough to bring the spectators in droves. She isn't too bad an actress, either.

...have an 18-year-old in our bunch-the darling of the outfit. He's the best soldier we have. The kid's hard as nails. He has character, brains, personality-and more surplus energy than anyone I've ever known. Like all 18-year-olds, he's up against the problems of women and liquor.
