It Had to Be You is a 1947 American comedy romance film directed by Don Hartman and Rudolph Maté and starring Ginger Rogers and Cornel Wilde.

On a train she meets the vision George McKesson dressed as an Indian, just like she envisioned her dream man when she was a child.

Harrington, Victoria is on the verge of saying "yes" when she meets the real version of her "dream lover," Johnny Blaine, a firefighter who is the physical incarnation of George McKesson.

Victoria, frustrated with George's advances, insists he stay at home to play cards with her father, and while shopping she sees Johnny returning a negligee.

Because the family thinks he is George, they dismiss his claims to be Johnny Blaine the firefighter, and alluding to the "train incident" Mr. an Mrs. Stafford discuss getting Victoria married off as soon as possible to avoid future scandal.

Knowing Victoria is marrying the wrong man, George places a call to report a fire at the wedding.

The movie ends with a tight shot of Johnny's moccasins hanging from his belt as the couple kiss on the speeding firetruck.

[2] In her autobiography Ginger: My Story, Rogers wrote about the film:[3] "[It was] a very amusing script about a girl who backs out of four marriages.
