以英国伦敦的一个中产阶级家庭为模特儿，透过他们一家的战时遭遇来反映大后方老百姓团结抗战的热诚，颇能鼓舞民心士气，曾获最佳影片等六项金像奖，在今天看来依旧有其艺术和娱乐价值。本片取材自英国女记者的通讯报导集，经四名编剧将内容加工提炼成为结构完整的剧本。导演威廉。怀勒充分掌握住战时生活的气氛和人物之间的浓厚感情，拍出了邻里间平凡中见不平凡的一面。饰演女主角米尼弗夫人的格里尔·加森表现出后方家庭主妇的坚强和韧性，是极成功的贤妻良角色。

　　After a late-night cup of coffee, vaudevillians Jo Hayden and Harry Palmer sit at a piano and work a song. Moments later, Jo realises she's found exactly what she wasn't looking for: a partner. And with Judy Garland as Jo and Gene Kelly as Harry, the partnership isn't just ideal. It's a film fan's dream come true. Kelly debuts and Garland dazzles in this Busby Berkeley-directed tale of a song-and-dance pair who take on tank towns, tough times and World War I while struggling for show-biz success. A hit parade of era tunes paces the film, including the wowser "Ballin' the Jack" and the sweetly harmonized title tune. Bursting with vitality and old-fashioned charm, "For Me And My Gal" is for the ages.
