When an unassuming sailor, Casey Kirby (William Holden), goes backstage for a famous actress' autograph, he winds up kissing her for a publicity photo. As it circulates, Kirby earns the reputation of a ladies' man among his friends. But when his friend Barney Waters (Eddie Bracken) bets that Casey can kiss the standoffish "Countess of Swingland" (Dorothy Lamour), he finds himself out of his league. With Barney as his wingman, Casey makes his earnest -- and bumbling -- move.

The interesting thing here is that Dorothy Lamour is in this movie. Everything else is incidental. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Harry R Jan 9, 2019 William Holden's a Casanova Titanic whom his Navy buds bet can't get pass Dorothy Lamour's iceberg, but he's really no Casanova at all. Oh snap, now what? Not that it matters in the slightest, as the outcomes a given anyway, and the whole film's merely a commercial punching songs of the day. And dance. Lotsa dance. There's even a conga line! How did Bill get into this mess?!? Serviceable service comedy, though the yuks are pretty starchy. See more
