Mary McKinley (<a href="/wiki/Patricia_Neal" title="Patricia Neal">Patricia Neal</a>, in her film debut) is the woman he left behind. But their reunion will have to wait: John has returned with English war bride Lilly Herbish (<a href="/wiki/Virginia_Field" title="Virginia Field">Virginia Field</a>) in tow. It seems that John married Lilly as a favor to get her into the U.S., intending to go to Reno, Nevada and divorce her so that she can wed her true love, John's old pal Fred Taylor (<a href="/wiki/Jack_Carson" title="Jack Carson">Jack Carson</a>). The plan is complicated by the unexpected arrival of Mary's parents, Senator James McKinley (<a href="/wiki/Edward_Arnold_(actor)" title="Edward Arnold (actor)">Edward Arnold</a>) and his wife Phyllis (<a href="/wiki/Katharine_Alexander" title="Katharine Alexander">Katharine Alexander</a>). When John asks for the blessing of Mary's father to wed her, the senator insists that the wedding be held immediately. Later, John learns that Fred is already married and that his wife is expecting a baby. </p><p>John and Fred then come up with a scheme to put off John's wedding until he can get a divorce from Lilly. Fred pays off their former lieutenant, Victor O'Leary (<a href="/wiki/Wayne_Morris_(American_actor)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wayne Morris (American actor)">Wayne Morris</a>), to don his old uniform and pretend to order John to go to Reno on some Army business. The next day, Mary is so distraught at the thought of delaying the wedding that she insists her father use his political connections to get John out of his assignment. When John refuses to accept any special treatment, Mary leaves along with her parents. While they are gone, Lilly arrives and discovers that Fred already is married. Mary tries again to get John out of his assignment by asking General Biddle (<a href="/wiki/Paul_Harvey_(actor)" title="Paul Harvey (actor)">Paul Harvey</a>) to intervene, but John again refuses any such help. Mary becomes convinced that John does not love her and breaks off the engagement, forcing John to come clean and admit to the entire scheme. Lilly then reveals that she was married to Victor, but had received a letter purporting to be from his mother claiming that he had died from double pneumonia. An unwilling, and inebriated Victor is reunited with Lilly, and since Lilly's marriage to John is invalid he is free to wed Mary.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Loves_Mary&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a> as John Lawrence</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Patricia_Neal" title="Patricia Neal">Patricia Neal</a> as Mary McKinley</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jack_Carson" title="Jack Carson">Jack Carson</a> as Fred Taylor</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wayne_Morris_(American_actor)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wayne Morris (American actor)">Wayne Morris</a> as Lt.
