4/10
Wake Up and Dream is A Real Sleeper **
23 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Rather routine fanfare of a young girl in pursuit of her missing navy brother during World War 11.

John Payne and June Haver top the cast of this rather benign film. Where exactly is this young girl and group pursuing Payne? This is never fully explained and is ridiculous at best.

Charlotte Greenwood, a wonderful dancer and performer in general, is given so little to do as the wife of the old timer who makes the boat.

Of all people, John Ireland appears in a supporting role as a dentist without a degree who joins in the search. Naturally, he has romantic designs on Haver, who loves Payne. The film mercifully ends without this being dealt with. How fortunate for all concerned.
