The Impatient Years

1h 45m|Comedy drama
To rekindle their love, a divorce judge orders Sgt. Andy Anderson (Lee Bowman) and his wife, Janie (Jean Arthur), to reenact their four-day breakneck courtship. So the pair return to the hotel where they met and begin their re-romance with the moment they first laid eyes on each other -- a chance encounter in the hotel's coffee shop. Things begin relatively smoothly, but, as they retrace their steps, a series of comical misunderstandings baffles their friends and the hotel staff.
