Maisie joins the war effort in the airplane factory
26 September 2021
It's the middle of World War II for the U. S., and Maisie Ravier is doing her part. Besides being a factory worker and helping build planes like Rosie the Riveter, Ann Sothern's Ravier is making another movie to help lift the spirits of people on the home front. This is the seventh in the series of Maisie films by MGM, and the studio and cast make a good anti-Nazi propaganda film as well.

There isn't much to the plot in this one. Maisie starts out in a dog act that folds over a squabble she is part of. A little oddity is that Maisie doesn't have a birth certificate for an ID to be able to get the war-time factory job. So, she gets the dog act guy, Horatio Curley, to vouch as having known her since childhood. That would do in lieu of a birth certificate.

This is another good romantic comedy in which Maisie has to convince the company test pilot, Breezy McLaughlin, that she's the gal for him. And it takes some time before Breezy wakes up to the conniving Iris Reed.
