Without Love (1945)

In WWII Pat Jamieson is a scientist working, without backing, on a
high-altitude oxygen mask for fighter pilots. But he has nowhere to
conduct his research until he meets Jamie Rowan, a woman with a
large empty country house. She has no hopes of marrying for love
(and neither does Pat) but Jamie wants to help the war effort and she
likes this quirky scientist and his dog, so to satisfy the proprieties they
agree on a business arrangement: a marriage of convenience and
partnership. They happily work on oxygen mixes instead of honeymooning.
But as the footing of their relationship begins warm up, Jamie is courted
by another man and the old flame that broke Pat's heart is back in his life.
It will take a sleepwalking ruse, dodging in and out of doors, and a working
oxygen mask to get them together again.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Just prior to Pat Jamieson blacking out in the
test of his oxygen mask, he says, "Jamie. Jamie." The next line,
"We made it," was dubbed in later - his lips don't move.
Continuity: As Jamie is looking at herself in the pressure chamber glass
door with the breathing equipment on, her reflection in the glass doesn't
match her movements.
