What happens
This Time for Keeps is a 1947 American romantic musical film directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Esther Williams, Jimmy Durante, Johnnie Johnston and opera singer Lauritz Melchior. Produced by MGM, it is about a soldier, returning home from war, who does not wish to work for his father's opera company or to continue his relationship with his pre-war lover. The film was shot in color and partly on location at the Grand Hotel, on Mackinac Island in Michigan. This Time for Keeps became the second film in which Williams's name was first billed above the title, after Fiesta. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
