The More the Merrier (1943) starring Jean Arthur, Charles Coburn, Joel McCrea. Set in Washington, D.C. during World War II -- there's a housing shortage, and a young civil servant (Arthur) ends up renting out half of her apartment to two men (Coburn and McCrea). I think it's supposed to play out as a screwball comedy, but then there's this wartime nonsense where the FBI gets involved, and it's rather tedious. Also, this disc lacks subtitles for the hearing-impaired. Grade: C
