He's headed to the Pacific, sees her on the train, gets off in Chicago, and with her father's help, pursues her and hatches a plan to marry her. Meanwhile, she has her own plan to get rid of him with the help of a blond patient. Will the Nixie get into her psyche?

Interesting facts

She Wouldn't Say Yes is a 1945 American screwball comedy film directed by Alexander Hall and starring Rosalind Russell, Lee Bowman and Adele Jergens. It was produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

Production

The original working title for the film was Some Call It Love and was later changed to She Wouldn't Say Yes. Production for the film began on May 8, 1945, and went through July 14. 1945. Rosalind Russell had previously worked with director Alexander Hall on several films including My Sister Eileen from 1942 and This Thing Called Love from 1940.

Rosalind Russell was cast in the part of Dr. Susan Lane, an unmarried psychiatrist, happy to be single. Russell had a prolific film career with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starting in 1934, when she signed a seven-year contract with them.

The release date of the film caused an anachronism in the plot: the traveling Kent character is en route to Japan, via San Francisco, and mentions at least three times he is "off to war"—but the war ended three months earlier.
