Larry Wilson (William Powell) is a wealthy businessman. He's also so incredibly boring that his wife, Kay (Myrna Loy), wants a divorce. But when Larry gets knocked on the head, he discovers that he isn't Larry Wilson at all. He's actually George Carey, a con artist, and his life as Larry has really been a case of amnesia. Now back to his old ways, George plans a con to rob an entire town of their money. But George's fiery ways make Kay reconsider the divorce.

TIME Staff TIME Magazine 10/25/2017
The reappearance of cinema's No. 1 man-&-wife team results in split-second timing of some of the sauciest dialogue since the Hays office eased the ban on innuendo. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media 12/24/2010
4/5
Delightful Powell and Loy romantic comedy. Go to Full Review George Orwell Time and Tide 10/02/2023
It is a change to see a comic film that has an inherently comic idea behind it as well as adequate acting and the never-failing American dialogue. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 08/05/2020
7/10
Though the inimitable duo is usually at the top of their game, the scripting here isn't nearly as clever or humorous as when they traded sarcastic quips as Nick and Nora. Go to Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com 08/20/2007
4.5/5
One of the duo's finest works together, a rip-snorting screwball comedy that bounces from silliness to insanity with spectacular ease. Go to Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis 08/05/2007

...it probably doesn't get the credit it deserves, and it's really quite good. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

dustin d 05/23/2022 I love you again is the Bourne Identity of '40s rom-coms. See more 01/02/2019 This is truly a hit for this power DUO!1 Powell truly makes love to Loy in a way that would win every female heart out there. This movie has you hoping for each character with just as much gusto. The ending with truly leave you "coo'ing" A MUST SEE!!! See more Frances H 12/08/2018 Hilarious screwball comedy with the superb comedy team of William Powell and Myrna Loy. See more 09/15/2018 A wacky comedy. Very entertaining for its time, but it did drag a little towards the end. I didn't realize William Powell could be so funny. (First and only viewing - 9/15/2018) See more 07/18/2018 To enjoy this film you basically have to stop worrying about the bizarre starting premise (not just amnesia but a total personality shift). Once you grant it and go along for the ride it's a delightful screwball comedy with the added bonus that a lot of the humour is at the expense of the po-faced "upstanding citizen" whose identity is being robbed by his less virtuous but far more likeable former self. See more 07/23/2017 With the Myrna Loy and William Powell magic. See more Read all reviews
