After a night on the town, the memorably monickered soldier Ignatz Ratzkywatzky leaves small town girl Trudy Kockenlocker with sextuplets--but she can't remember who he was. Although it was Paramount's biggest hit of 1944 (after being held on the shelf for a year), Preston Sturges' defiantly pre-code-style romp was his final film for the studio and the end of his unprecedented streak of auteurist comedy classics. Because of its controversial reputation it became the only pre-49 Paramount talkie not sold to MCA for tv distribution. Remade by Frank Tashlin in 1958 as Rock-a-Bye Baby.
