Description:Kay Hudson (Betty Grable) is in charge of putting on a show for the occupying troops in Japan who are waiting to be sent home after WWII. He estranged husband Shep (Dan Dailey) wants to get back together with her, so he goes to see her. This results in him missing his ship home. AWOL, he fakes orders to report to the base where Kay is. She puts him in the show, but still doesn't trust him. She's wooed by a Captain and is tempted to marry him. But then she finds out Shep has been telling her the truth and she realizes she still loves him. And it turns out he isn't AWOL—his papers were processed, and he's actually a civilian.

Review - Call Me Mister

Skeletal plot to string together a bunch of musical numbers that have nothing to do with each other and which have sets and staging far too elaborate for a military base. Danny Thomas was along for comic relief, but he wasn't funny. The songs, while not totally annoying, were totally forgettable.
