The Doctor Takes A Wife 1940 Ray Milland & Loretta Young

The Doctor Takes a Wife is a 1940 screwball comedy film starring Loretta Young and Ray Milland as a best-selling author and medical school instructor, respectively, who find it convenient to pretend to be married, even though they initially loathe each other.

Oh…..how I miss movies like this. True talent. No profanity, nudity or special effects to make the actors look good. Just acting using their love of acting. Nothing and nobody comes close to these people in todays Hollywood. They all stink…..

[@bobsanders9114]

Highly censored, Joseph Breen-infected, Catholic Church overseen, no diversity, lack of true intelligence in most of the scripting content - but studio sealed, factory-assembled, easy, no challenge, glamorized, perfect for old school Republicans. Wonder how writer feels about They Won't Forget, Intruder in the Dust, Kings Row, Scarlet Street, M, Crossfire, I Was a Fugitive From a Chain Gang - those few pictures that actually attempted to address reality and became classics along the way. These KZbin channels featuring "classic" Hollywood really do show how far we've come. However, the supporting casts were, I agree, generally gifted character actors. They got me there.

Ray Milland and Loretta Young played so well together and Casting Edmund Gwenn as the Dr.'s Sterling's Father was stroke of genius. A really charming and humorous story I thoroughly enjoyed.

[@monicaclark9581]

Edmund Gwenn was an excellent actor. It's guaranteed of most of the movies he's appeared in, is of good quality.

[@mariamarisi6154]

Thank you for the great movie. Love Ray Milland. And also Loretta young. ❤

[@lindsaycooper9400]

This is one of my favourite movies now. So funny. Ray Milland was such a handsome man and had a real gift for comedy.

[@dragonflyparade8143]

I love Ray Milland. Wonderful actor, lovely man. What a treat this film is. Thank you.

[@all4senna]

The very first time i saw Ray Milland was in "Dial M for Murder", since then I always enjoyed his acting.

[@bolotabr12]

Ray Milland was also in one of Columbo’s episode.

The Lost Weekend is a must see, no doubt one of his all time best performances.

Life was simpler in those days 😪

[@ritacatalinich]

Isn’t it amazing how so many people admire & wish life was like back then , I also think that life was more simpler then , no social media to make so much noise on this planet . I watch these movies because it takes me to another world a calmer one without so much hatred 😊

[@mariarobles6426]

[@LBGirl1988]

@@ritacatalinichI think in some respects, life is easier now. But you are spot on about social media! The “simplicity “ of 100 years ago is not as simple today. Women and men had clear roles. Entertainment moguls had escaped totalitarian regimes and persecution as children or their parents had before coming to America. They knew promoting the American dream with a strong dose of high standards and good character would help everyone. We do not have clarity of any kind today and it’s awfully stressful!

[@irmar]

@@ritacatalinich "people admire & wish life was like back then"? Did you see the year the movie was made? 1940. Rings a bell? World War II. Only two decades after the end of a disastrous who took a terrible death toll, ruining economy and levelling up the whole of Europe, another war started, even worse than the one before. And Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. How can people conveniently forget?

If called a 'screwball comedy'--so be it. The script is funny, the direction fast-paced, the actors, every last one of them, incredible, with precise timing and a sense of humanity. Absolutely marvelous!

[@annabelleb.8096]

Such a fun movie even tho a person could be pretty sure of the ending. Lots of laughs getting there and great acting. “Pops” was such a heart warming character.

I agree with you, it's a wonderful movie and the dialogues simply marvellous. The actors are spot on, Ray Milland so charming and Loretta Young is beautiful. Perfect together. Thankyou for this gem.

[@juliesuris8906]

First time I have seen her play an 'air head', very funny. I remember her as a cunning antagonist in dramas and comedies. She was versatile on camera and behind it - the original executive producer of the black and white made for tv Perry Mason series.

[@michaeldangelo5810]

This is a very pleasant, lightweight film. it is entertaining, without a doubt. It relies on lots of the old (but then current) standards: the meeting under strange circumstances, the misunderstanding, the antagonism which dissolves and transforms into love, the frantic back and both between locations to cover a deception, etc. There was no heavy lifting involved for any of the actors, but everyone looked great and all did a fine job with the material at hand to create an entertaining film.

Would have been smart if the director put the 3 stooges in this. Plenty of parts they could've played And would've been terrific.

[@cattymajiv]

I positively hate the 3 Stooges, and all of the so called comedians of that type. I was raised on British comedy, which is intelligent comedy, so I find the slapstick stuff to be boring and annoying, no matter what era it comes from. I liked the silent comedies by Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd. They were all just great! But I wouldn't call them slapstick. They were very smart film makers who planned every second and every inch of everything. I think I'll look for those guys next!

[@mortalclown3812]

Heeding the philosophy of Herbert Spencer re: contempt prior to investigation, it's bemusing to see comments from the cranky old folks brigade. They are rather ironic. Those complaining probably heard the exact things about their own generation of films and got all up at arms over it. Just enjoy the movie! 😂 Btw, there are plenty of very good recent films sans debauchery. (And documentaries that matter a great deal to us all.) Paz y luz ✨️ to all
