Set in London during WWII, James Garner plays a Navy lieutenant who to avoid combat engineered his way into fulfilling special procurement needs for a Rear Admiral on the verge of nervous breakdown. Julie Andrews is Emily Barham, an English war widow who falls for this anti-hero. Disguised as a romantic comedy, effective satire conveys a subtle anti-war message.
