Plot.
The oddly-assorted Hart cousins: revue singer Blossom, con man Harry, and machinist Chiquita (who gets radio through her teeth!), inherit southern plantation Magnolia Manor, which alas proves to be a "termite trap" and tax liability. Fortunately, Sgt. Rocky Fulton from a nearby army camp appears with a plan to convert the place to a hotel for army wives; but to pay bills until then, they decide to put on a show. Of course, romantic and military complications intervene..

Wiki.
Something for the Boys is a 1944 musical comedy film directed by Lewis Seiler. It stars Carmen Miranda, Michael O'Shea, Vivian Blaine, Phil Silvers, Sheila Ryan and Perry Como.
The screenplay, based on a Broadway musical with songs by Cole Porter, follows three cousins who, during World War II, inherit a mansion. Chiquita Hart (Carmen Miranda), Harry (Phil Silvers), and Blossom (Vivian Blaine) decide to turn the place into a guesthouse for military wives, combining service with artistic performances.
Actress Judy Holliday, who would go on to win an Oscar for Best Actress six years later for Born Yesterday (1950), makes a brief appearance with just one line of dialogue.
