I just watched this for the first time and loved it! William Holden was amusing and charming as the naive, lovestruck GI. Joan Caulfield was pretty and sweet as the woman he thought he had exchanged all those letters with.
However, I thought the 3 best actors in this were Edward Arnold, Mona Freeman and Billy DeWolfe. They all were funny, and probably have the best lines. While it's hard to believe that Caulfield's character would ever want to marry DeWolfe's nerdy, boorish character, DeWolfe had some very funny lines. This is one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long time, and is now one of my favorite romantic comedies - a real treat from the Golden Age of Hollywood. I loved the very last scene too!
