It's World War II and there is a severe housing shortage everywhere - especially in Washington, D.C. where Connie Milligan rents an apartment. Believing it to be her patriotic duty, Connie offers to sublet half of her apartment, fully expecting a suitable female tenent. What she gets instead is mischievous, middle-aged Benjamin Dingle. Dingle talks her into subletting to him and then promptly sublets half of his half to young, irreverent Joe Carter - creating a situation tailor-made for comedy and romance.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The More the Merrier' is a classic romantic comedy centered around the WWII housing shortage in Washington D.C. None of the provided plot details or genre descriptions suggest any connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography. It fails to meet any of the criteria for being considered a Christmas movie."
