About A Likely Story
A shell-shocked young GI mistakenly believes he is dying, and a young artist takes it upon herself to prove to him that he's not.
Directed by H. C. Potter, A Likely Story leans on a strong ensemble — Bill Williams, Barbara Hale, Lanny Rees — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1947.
