Jailed for not making alimony payments, Randy Randall (Joel McCrea) plots with his attorney, Bill Carter (Roland Young), to arrange a marriage for his ex-wife, Valerie (Nancy Kelly). Maneuvering Valerie to accept a weekend with him at the estate of wealthy, eccentric Ethel Hillary (Mary Boland), Randy sets her up with his dull friend, Paul (Lyle Talbot). Randy's plans go awry when a dashing guest, Freddie (Cesar Romero), arrives and sweeps Valerie off her feet, provoking Randy's jealousy.

Audience Member

Fairly standard screwball comedy about Joel McCrea, trying to get his ex-wife to fall for another man, so he won't have to pay alimony any longer. Elisha Cook Jr. also has a funny bit part. Overall it's a fairly inoffensive and entertaining enough of comedy. Certainly worth watching for McCrea fans.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
