Warning: Spoilers
Despite a madcap ending, we have a fairly good film here showing a returning vet finds that his wife has bought an apartment building and we meet quite an array of tenants living there.

We see a well-meaning landlord who is soon confronted with a variety of expenses and a real wily new tenant who turns out to be a charmer while being a notorious lover who charms wealthy women out of vast sums of money. Of course, he finds true love in the building and marries one of the tenants and for their age, what happens at the end is quite incredible, yet alone against the laws of biology!

William Lundigan and June Haver have the main roles. Of all people, Jack Paar shows up as a lawyer-friend of theirs and it's still a rather benign Marilyn Monroe as an army buddy of Lundigan.

Good film to show the expenses that landlords have to go through.
