"Army chaplain Captain William Paris, who is head of entertainment at a base, is trying to figure out how to entertain the troops. Unsure of what will rouse the crowd, Paris creates a "brain trust" featuring local experts including a professor, a painter, and the painter's wife to go on stage and answer questions posed by the soldiers. But when the topic turns to matrimony, problems in the artist's marriage become apparent to all. Alistair Sim was one of Britain's finest comedy character actors,"
