Description
It was raining men and twenty dollar bills, and the young women of Newfoundland loved the downpour. It was another kind of American Invasion. It was 1939 and the beginning of an unprecedented economic boom for Newfoundland, with the arrival of thousands of American servicemen and the building of five American bases across the Island. Making Time with the Yanks is a musical comedy story of the culture clash between the Yanks and the Newfs, their romantic entanglements, all the love and the laughter.
