How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A zippy wartime musical comedy where con artists stumble into the Army and chaos hilariously ensues. It's buoyant, irreverent fun with a swing-era soundtrack and the kind of screwball energy that reminds you why people went to movies to feel good.
