The Very Thought of You is a 1944 romantic drama film directed by Delmer Daves and starring Dennis Morgan, Eleanor Parker and Dane Clark.

After three years at war, two soldiers serving in the Aleutian campaign in "cold storage" on the island of Attu, Army Sergeants Dave (Dennis Morgan) and his buddy "Fixit" (Dane Clark) are sent back to the States.

They spend a Thanksgiving pass in Pasadena and visit Dave's alma mater, Caltech, before being transferred elsewhere in the Pacific Theater.

Cora (Faye Emerson) quickly catches Fixit's eye, while Janet (Eleanor Parker) remembers Dave from school days.

She and Dave (with Fixit's help) have a quick rendezvous in San Diego, sleeping on a beach, because all the hotels and trailer parks are full.
