This is a romantic comedy starring Carey Grant, Myrna Loy, and Shirley Temple. The story follows a high school girl named Susan who falls in love with a playboy of an artist who keeps running into trouble with the law, and he ends up going out with her too! Because of a misunderstanding at her school, Susan came to believe that the artist, Dick, wanted to use her as a model, and was thrilled because she was enamoured with him. Not knowing where she went, her sister Margaret became very worried, and when she found out where Susan had gone, was very angry with Dick. This wouldn't be a very big problem normally, but unfortunately for Dick, Margaret is a judge. Instead of sentencing him to do jail time, she tells Dick to pretend to go out with her sister to help her get over her teenaged crush.
At first things seem to be going according to plan, but Susan's infatuation shows no signs of waning, and even more concerting, there's a growing attraction between Dick and Margaret! How oh how will they all find happiness!?
A nice light romantic comedy with just a touch of drama. "You remind me of a man. What man? The man with the power. What power? The power of whodo. Who do? You do! Do what? Remind me of a man...."
This is a great movie about a woman, Ellen (Irene Dunne), who returns to her family after being shipwrecked on an island and declared dead. When she finally returns to her home, she speaks to her mother who tells her that her husband, Nick (Carey Grant), has remarried on that very day. Ellen goes to the honeymoon suite to try to find Nick, and when he sees her he's shocked and overjoyed... and acquires a whole new set of problems!
He has never stopped loving Ellen, but doesn't quite know how to break the news to his blushing (but of course snobby, potentially mean-spirited) bride. They all end up going back to the house and Ellen tells Bianca (new wife) and the kids, who don't know who she is, that she is a cousin from the south. The new wife gets more and more jealous of the bond between Nick and Ellen, and Nick seems to find it increasingly difficult to tell her that Ellen is in fact his first wife.
In the meantime, Nick finds out that Ellen was not alone for those seven years, but was stranded with a man. Nick completely drops his issue with Bianca and goes out of his mind with jealousy trying to find this man. When he finally does, he discovers that the man is very attractive, and is in love with Ellen!!
Just when things can't get any more complicated, Nick is arrested for bigamy. How will he get out of this scrape and will he and Ellen ever be able to be together!?
I really enjoyed this movie. It was a lighthearted, romantic, screwball comedy with a cheeky heroine and a hilarious scenario. Fun for the whole family!
