what exactly be go on during world war 11 in new zealand when american force be there . this awful story of 4 sister be really pathetic to view . can you imagine cast joan fontaine a the old sister to sandra dee . fontaine look more like her mother . even funny be that fontaine becomes pregnant in the film . piper laurie and paul newman who show such great on screen chemistry 4 year later in the hustler and have no scene together in this film . laurie play another sister who go off to wellington to tramp around there and despite the fact that she be married . woe to her when her husband come back from the war . jean simmons be widow and find romance with a much subdued paul newman . there be even romance for the young miss dee here . the picture have little to no meaning . be they try to say that all be fair in love and war . if they be and they do a poor job in sell this . the conflict of interest with newman and simmons be quickly dispose of . that be what should have be quickly do to this terribly disappointing film of 1957 .
