...generally as affable and lighthearted as its premise might have indicated.

A-

The beginning and ending are symmetrical: Story opens at Penn State, picking up a soldier (Robert Walker) in the crowd, and it ends when Alice (Judy Garland) sees him off at Penn State, with the camera pulling off until her figure is lost in the crowd

The Clock is a delightful example of a "small" film that runs mainly on wits and imagination.

A nice little wartime romance. Garland and Walker are sweet at the young couple in love.
