GRADE: 8
An inventor needs cash to develop his big idea. His wife, who loves him, decides to raise it for him by divorcing him and marrying a millionaire.
Director: Preston Sturges
Country: USA
THOUGHTS:
Very good, but not great example of the classic screwball comedy. The film might have gotten a major boost from a better comedic male lead–Cary Grant, say. Plenty of charming nonsense throughout, but not quite as raucous and wonderful as Sturges’ better movies.
