Mr. Winkle Goes To War (aka Arms and the Woman, 1944, U.S.A.)

Quitting his bank job of fifteen years to open a fix it shop, Wilbert Winkle (Edward G. Robinson, The Whole Town’s Talking, Destroyer) begins questioning his choice after his wife, Amy (Ruth Warrick,Citizen Kane), starts nagging him. Though surprised to receive a draft notice, the middle aged Wilbert responds. And after ending up in the South Pacific where his wits and courage make him a most unlikely hero, the unassuming Winkle heads back home content to resume life where he left off.

This charming war time comedy was helmed by veteran Columbia director Alfred E. Green.
