Does anybody remember the Goldie Hawn movie "Swing Shift"?

It was about WW2 and how women took the place of men who were fighting the ww2 in the factories that made the munitions that helped the war effort. They all wanted to keep their jobs after the war but were let go because the men had returned and needed the jobs.

I think it starred Goldie Hawn. I loved it. Sad, though...

She played the neighbor. She was so great in this movie.

She is one of my favorite actresses. I loved it when she was Steve McGarrett's mom on Hawaii Five 0

She became an x-ray technician, but lost her job after the war even though she was a single mom.
