Review

A star rating of 1 out of 5.

Lew Ayres introduces his fiancée Greer Garson to his best friend Robert Taylor over lunch, whereupon friend sweeps her away and marries her, setting in train a series of events encompassing everything from divorce to amnesia-inducing potions. This must surely be one of the most witless romantic comedies ever dreamed up, despite a dozen or so amusing lines of dialogue. Ayres, looking and acting like a cut-price Jack Lemmon, emerges as a prize schnook and Taylor as a juvenile idiot, while Garson (with hints of her gracious performance in Mrs Miniver) rises above it all. Norman Z McLeod directed and co-wrote it, MGM produced it. Both should have known better.
