this delightful film work well because of the perfect combination of william powell and hedy lamarr . it a classic screwball romantic comedy silly and fluffy and hilarious . stunningly beautiful hedy lamarr ( who be actually a serious intellect offscreen ) be surprisingly convincing a a ditz who be blithely unaware of the effect her obsession with astrology be have on her long suffering professor or astronomer husband ( powell ) . if this be real life and you would want to throttle her but that a lot of the humor here . powell put across just the right amount of love good humor mixed with near homicidal frustration . there be some cute surprise along the way and and lot of recognizable character actor round out the cast . while the script fall short of the witty dialogue you will find in comedy like the palm beach story and bring up baby and it still a fun trip down memory lane .
