Unlike other reviewers here I'll start out by saying that I love Ronald Reagan, and I voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984. Prior to his presidency I was a democrat. Since several reviewers had to clarify, needlessly, that they were democrats or didn't support RR I decided to start the review by stating that I did!
Secondly, the time period wasn't ambiguous or around 1947 as another reviewer wrote. The film starts out by saying it was Christmas of 1944. Then later in the film it's Spring, of 1945.
I adore this movie. Eleanor Parker was adorable (yes, her hair was too stiff and somewhat silly looking), Ronald Reagan was charming and wonderful, and Eve Arden, as always, was a hoot. I generally don't enjoy many films about "the theatre" as they are often too full of inside jokes or annoying, hammy characters. The Voice of the Turtle was the exception. It was delightful from beginning to end and I love the soundtrack. 10 stars!
