Plot summary



A comedy about marriage and everything relating to it.

Reception

Writing for 'The Spectator' in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a good review, describing it as "a trivial charming comedy". Greene praised Dorothy Parker's comedy writing and the acting of Margaret Sullavan and Henry Fonda for providing "the sense of something fresh and absurd and civilized". (reprinted in: )

'Lux Radio Theatre' aired a one-hour adaptation of the film on February 10, 1941, with James Stewart and Carole Lombard in the leading roles.
