Hers to Hold is a 1943 American romantic musical comedy film and is the third film in the unofficial Three Smart Girls trilogy.[2] Deanna Durbin reprises her role as Penny Craig, who is the only sister remaining at home.

Plot

The film begins with Vega Aircraft Corporation employees pilot Bill Morley (Joseph Cotten), a former Flying Tiger awaiting commissioning with the United States Army Air Forces and his comedy relief sidekick Rosey (Gus Schilling) giving blood for the American Red Cross. During their mandatory rest period following the donation, the pair sight a bevy of photographers following singing socialite Penny Craig (Deanna Durbin) giving her donation. As all donors are given the temporary use of hospital white coats, wolf bachelor Bill sees his chance to get Penny's address and details by impersonating a doctor.

Bill continues his doctor charade when he and Rosey crash a society soiree held by Penny's parents. Penny decides to get her revenge by attempting to humiliate Bill by turning him over to one of the Craig family's raving hypochondriac friends and introducing him to a real medical professional. The embarrassed but still cool Bill takes his leave but not before publicly kissing Penny. Penny instantly falls in love with Bill and tracks him down by getting a job herself at the Vega Aircraft Factory as a riveter that also satisfies her desire to help the war effort.

Between working and singing Penny schemes to keep Bill from going on active service and though Bill is slowly finding his way with Penny he is afraid of leaving her a widow during World War II.[3]

Production

The film was originally planned to be filmed in 1942 and titled Three Smart Girls Join Up to be directed by Jean Renoir with a screenplay by Paul Gallico and Richard J. Collins. The pair were replaced when the producer felt that the film should be about the relationship of the three Craig sisters at home rather than the submitted screenplay about Penny's relationship with the other workers at the aircraft plant.[4] Production was delayed until 1943 with the title changed as the screenplay concentrated on Penny's romance with a flier and Penny being the only one of the Craig sisters to appear in the film; a line in the screenplay mentions that she will write letters to her unseen sisters.[5] Reference to the other films of the series appear as Penny's father shows home movies of scenes from those films.

The film was shot on location at the Vega Aircraft Factory in Burbank, California on Sundays to avoid disruption of aircraft manufacture[6] and at the Lockheed Air Terminal,[7]

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress shown being built in the film flew several combat missions with the Eighth Air Force over Europe where it was named Tinkertoy. Tinkertoy was considered a "jinx ship" that no one wanted to fly in due to its crews taking an unusual amount of frequent and gruesome deaths.[8][9]
