What it’s about. In this screwball comedy a WW2 US pilot bombs a Japanese aircraft carrier, is assumed to be dead, and then is misquoted in the press as fondly remembering his days back home walking his dog Piggy. Instead of his dog Piggy he is thought to be in love with Peggy, a girl he worked with. The usual farce ensues after he returns home alive and tries to play along with the mistake to save embarrassment for all.
Who’s in it. Practically Yours stars Fred MacMurray as Daniel Bellamy, Claudette Colbert as Peggy Martin, Gil Lamb as Albert W. Beagell and Cecil Kellaway as Marvin P. Meglin, among others.
