Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film inspired the name of one of the most famous World War 2 bombers, the B-17 "Memphis Belle", one of the first to complete a full combat tour of 25 missions against targets in Nazi Germany in May 1943. The aircraft was the namesake of pilot Captain Robert K. Morgan's sweetheart, Margaret Polk, a resident of Memphis, Tennessee. Morgan originally intended to call the B-17, Little One, after his pet name for her, but after Morgan and his co-pilot, Jim Verinis, saw this movie in which the leading character owns a riverboat named the Memphis Belle, he proposed that name to his crew. After their combat service, the Belle and her crew were sent home on highly successful war bond tour. They were also featured in an award-winning 1944 documentary by William Wyler.

Featured review
Great review but two points wrong
The prior review was excellent. But the movie is set in Memphis not New Orleans, even though the Mardi Gras opening would belie that. And Joan Blondell's character is the one who proposes the marriage, not the other way around. All in all, it's very entertaining movie which deserves a better reputation.
