Rated as unfit for the military in World War II, Bill Morgan (Fred MacMurray) desperately wants to enlist -- in part to impress beautiful Lucilla Powell (June Haver). When Bill finds an ancient lamp, he rubs it and a jinni (Gene Sheldon) emerges. While the magical entity grants Bill's wish of serving in the Army, it gets the era wrong, and the aspiring soldier ends up on a time-hopping adventure, skipping from the Revolutionary War to the discovery of America and other points in U.S. history.

Just about as childish as they come.

It has some wonderful moments, and how many other time-travel musicals can you name besides Just Imagine?

Rated: 3/4

The show rumbles along Technicolorfully and, on the whole, quite amusingly, with some really bright spots and a lot of others so shamelessly silly that you enjoy them anyway.

Fine performances by MacMurray and the lovely June Haver, for what this film is. But it is a weird concoction of plot developments that lack good continuity. Some good musical moments, and you can experience MacMurray's surprisingly good vocal talent. Unless you are a committed fan of MacMurray or Haver, this is not worth the time it takes to endure it. It has the feeling of a film that was never fully completed. But, some nice music and great color!

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
