The book was popular with readers, spending five weeks atop the New York Times Non-Fiction Best Seller list in the winter of 1943. The book was made into a motion picture in 1944, and in 1946 it was dramatized as a 3-act comedy play by Jean Kerr. In 1950 the book served as the basis for a CBS television comedy series. The series initially had the same name as the book, but after two weeks it was retitled The Girls. In 1960 a 2-act musical comedy version of the book was created. During the Second World War, Hugh Trevor-Roper discovered that this book was used as a codebook by German intelligence.
