...Francisco's landmarks are having second thoughts about being the theater of action for the four-day exercise, and last week the Presidio, a national park near the Golden Gate Bridge, withdrew permission to use its Baker Beach as a landing site.

It was premiered in April 1944, and tells the story of three sailors on shore leave on a hot summer night in New York City during World War II. It tells a fun story of chasing pretty women, drinking and generally enjoying N.Y.C...
