The Voice of the Turtle (1947) is a comedy film starring Ronald Reagan, Eleanor Parker, Eve Arden, and Wayne Morris, directed by Irving Rapper, and based on the long-running 1943 play of the same name by John Van Druten.[2]

Due to its retitling when it was released to television in the 50's, the film has become better known by its reissue name One for the Book.

Plot

A young actress, Sally Middleton, agrees to a date with a soldier, Bill Page, on a weekend pass after he's stood up by Olive Lashbrooke, her friend. When the soldier has trouble getting a hotel room, he ends up spending the weekend at her apartment.

Olive, having at first set her sights on Bill's commanding officer, has second thoughts and makes a play for Bill. He has fallen for Sally, who has sworn off love after her breakup with a theatrical producer, Ken Bartlett, so he sets about changing her mind.
