Major and the Minor The (1942)

A very amusing Billy Wilder directed comedy featuring Ginger Rogers and Ray Milland. Rogers plays a woman working in the big city who’s tired of all the "come ons" from all the men particularly the married ones. So with the money she saved for just this purpose she goes to the train station to buy a ticket home. When the train fare is more than it was she must pose as a child in order to afford the ticket home. On her journey she meets soldier instructor Milland whom the woman in her is attracted to but unfortunately he’s engaged & thinks she’s a teenager. However she ends up being a guest of his fiancee (Rita Johnson) rooming with Johnson’s younger sister Diana Lynn (whose performance is great!). And she’s a hit with all the cadets at the academy where Milland teaches; they literally fall over one other to date and dance with her. When Rogers learns that Johnson has conspired against letting Milland realize his dream of joining the fight overseas she decides to disrupt things. Can it possibly lead to Milland and Rogers getting together?
