Perhaps it is the concept of it all rather then the movie itself, a whole group of women ,that seem to have nothing much to do except worry about their men and wait for them, find ways to make time pass. I just could not grasp how old fashioned it all seemed. Do none of these women have jobs and interests and a life outside of their husbands work? Do the armed forces still work like this around the world, men working and women sitting at home knitting and singing...I guess the movie is cute but so outdated somehow.
