Graham,
Van Johnson and June Allyson were in six movies together. Only two of those involved war: Two Girls and Sailor (1944) - a musical about a sailor who helps sisters start up a service canteen... and High Barbaree (1947) - an action movie about true love in peace and war consisting of a series of flashbacks, one of which involves a tropical island.

Cheers, Dennis
