No Time for Love is a 1943 American romantic comedy film produced and directed by Mitchell Leisen and starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray.
"Romantic comedy (also known as romcom or rom-com) is a subgenre of comedy and slice of life fiction, focusing on lighthearted, humorous plot lines centered on romantic ideas, such as how true love is able to surmount most obstacles.[1] In a typical romantic comedy, the two lovers tend to be young, likeable, and seemingly meant for each other, yet they are kept apart by some complicating circumstance (e.g., class differences, parental interference, a previous girlfriend or boyfriend) until, surmounting all obstacles, they are finally united. A fairy-tale-style happy ending is a typical feature."

Hurry up and wait - "...a phrase used to refer to the situation in which one is forced to hurry to complete a specific task or arrive at a particular destination by a specified time, only for nothing to happen at that time, often because other required tasks are still awaiting completion. This expression dates from the 1940s and probably originated in the armed services. Many U.S. military veterans, in particular, consider this phrase synonymous with military culture."

The Hollywood Canteen opened in 1942, the canteen only served servicemen, but that’s not what made the canteen so special….see it was entirely staffed by Hollywoods' entertainment elite. Rita Hayworth dished up pie, Shirley Temple worked behind the bar, Betty Grable waitressed and Marlene Dietrich washed dishes. It was a movie bought to life, players and all.
