Stumbled onto this gem- a welcome screwball escape ! Irene Dunne is a comedic genius, and plays her role seamlessly as a goofy but endearing character. Worth watching again to appreciate the incredible timing and repartee between her and the rest of the world. Inspiring in a way -

This has all the earmarks of a "screwball comedy" relegated to the 1930s. The comedic screwball (typically a female) is blonde, naive, and jejune (look it up). Irene Dunne was forty-four and Patrick Knowles was thirty-one when this film came out. That said....this somehow works as a fun little gem during the thick of the worst years of our lives. Thank you for archiving and posting.

Some of the earliest screwball comedies were with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepurn, both not youngsters. The Philadelphia Story, which centered on a second marriage, or His Gal Friday with Rosalind Russell as an accomplished female news reporter opposite Cary Grant in 1940 are both good examples. Grant was born in 1904 and both women in 1907. So the women were 33 and Grant was 36 at the time of both films. The main point is that movies are magic, and it's the storyline and acting which count more than the reality of age. And this film is a welcome new experience for me. You're right, it does work......🙂 And Eugene Pallette as Billingsley is, as always, delightfully gruff! 😂

The first movie I saw Irene Dunne in was Love Affair with Boyer. She was amazing. This is a completely different role and she was amazing in a very different way. Too bad she did not get better roles but I found this hilarious, even if it is so tongue-in-cheek that it almost chokes. And as good as Dunne is in this movie, the supporting cast got some of the best lines. "More things oughta be settled by arbitration" was hilarious in context. 57:14, just after the gun play.

@@bordeauxhouse Yeah we tried Life With Father and finally managed to "choke it down", not what I would call a great part for Irene (nor for Powell). They were both ditzes in those roles and it wasn't funny in my view. This one was goofy and a strong role for Irene, where she toyed with ditzy at first but then got seriously strong quickly. Irene's character was amazing how she finally got that stupid shrink to admit his feelings and stop hiding in his head.
