Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
It's easy to see why Leo McCarey opted out of this tepid romantic comedy.

Rating: B --
Garson Kanin is not Leo McCarey, who was originally assigned to direct this screwball comedy, reuniting Cary Grant and Irene Dunne (Awful Truth), but he has made a well acted, decent, and enjoyable film.

While it's pleasant enough, the freshness is definitely off the bloom.

Chicago Reader
The direction of Garson Kanin is spotty, and there is evidence of faults in editing -- but who cares?

Rating: 2/5 --
Nowadays, we would call this the purview of a low-rent TV sitcom. Watching it play out 70 years earlier with top-flight stars doesn't make it any more palatable.

A relatively formulaic (though beautifully produced) bedroom comedy...

Snappy, breezy and charming, this romantic comedy may not be the best of Grant's films of the period, but it's an entertaining romp showing Grant and Dunne on top form.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A funny thing happens to newlywed Nick Arden on his way to the honeymoon suite. He meets his wife. No, not his bride. He meets the wife who was lost at sea seven years ago and presumed dead. All aboard for a spinning marriage-go-round! Cary Grant, the screen's ideal combination of romantic hunk and comedy buffoon, plays flabbergasted Nick. Radiant Irene Dunne, Grant's The Awful Truth and Penny Serenade co-star, plays the returned wife who cagily sets out to reclaim her former life. And Randolph Scott and Gail Patrick add to the marital mixup as Nick goes from having one wife to two to none to one. The right one. Of all the giddy screwball comedies ever made, this remains an enduring favorite.
Product Description:
When his wife is believed dead after seven years missing at sea, a dashing attorney marries again only to have his first wife suddenly appear on his honeymoon night. Remade as the Doris Day starrer, MOVE OVER DARLING. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Original Story.
