although not a wacky and funny a either bring up baby or arsenic and old lace and this be a very funny and memorable cary grant comedy . i do not understand how someone could be disappoint by the movie and a one comment on imdb state and but everyone have their own taste ( and i sure know of a lot of beloved film i hat ) . irene dunn play grant wife who have be lose at sea for many year . she and a man she be shipwreck with be finally discover and she return home to grant on the eve of his wedding . apparently and after so many year he be ready to have her declare legally dead and proceed with his new fiancée . her arrival sure throw a monkey wrench into their plan . however and when grant find out she be strand along with the handsome randolph scott ( fyi he really be cary grant best friend in real life ) and cary isn not sure whether to get remarried or return to dunn . fyi the same year this film debut and another film with almost the exact same story line also come out call too many husband . while this other film be amiable enough and my favorite wife be well in every way . if you only see one of these film and be sure it my favorite wife .
