The More the Merrier (1943)

During World War II, Washington, D.C. faces a dire housing crisis, prompting Connie Milligan to sublet part of her apartment as an act of patriotism. Expecting a responsible female tenant, she is instead met by the charmingly troublesome Benjamin Dingle. Dingle quickly persuades Connie to let him stay and then whimsically sublets his space to the youthful, cheeky Joe Carter. This unexpected living arrangement spirals into a delightful mix of comedic antics and budding romance, as the three navigate the challenges of wartime life together.
