Overview

In 1937 Shanghai, a soldier and a young woman have an awkward meet-cute in darkness under a bridge as they seek refuge during a bomb raid. Ten years later, the soldier, now a burgeoning songwriter and tuba player in a marching band, is back in town desperately searching for his would-be soulmate. As fate would have it, they end up living in the same building, unbeknownst to each other.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A charming screwball romance built on a delightful case of mistaken identity, where a wartime promise and ten years of separation set up an intricate romantic tangle. It's a lighthearted romp that finds humor and warmth in the collision between a soldier's lyrical dreams and the unsuspecting lives of two women who hold the key to his past.
