irene dunne and cary grant be wonderful together in this film as well a my favorite wife because the writing be so exceptional and the chemistry between them be terrific . even though penny serenade ( also star the pair ) be pretty depressing and it be also a quality film . i almost believe they could have tell them to ad lib together for 90 minute and it would have be wonderful . i think part of the reason i like the film so much be that both star have a wonderful way with light comedy . this movie doesn not have a terribly complicate plot a man and woman be divorce even though down deep they be still in love . however and because of the chemistry and writing and excellent direction and it almost magical . see this film and then see my favorite wife they will satisfy nearly anyone . so and if the film be so good and why do not i score it high . well and the bottom line be that for cary grant he make a few other comedy that be good ( arsenic and old lace and bring up baby ) . plus and the movie be so similar to my favorite wife another grant and dunn comedy . by the way and a couple thing to look for represent yes and the dog mr. smith be the same dog that be asta in the thin man movie . also and as usual and ralph bellamy do once again play the boyfriend who be destine to lose the girl ( irene dunn ) . just like in countless other movie and bellamy be inexplicably left bride less by the end of the movie ( a in his girl friday and hand across the table among others ) . third and this film seem to have possibly be the inspiration for the late hitchcock film and mr. and mrs. smith . if not and then at least they have a lot of similarity intentional or not .
