"“The first of three movies that Cary Grant and Irene Dunne made together. Few people have ever worked so well, and with such superior results, as Cary and Irene. It’s witty, infectious, and hilarious – all about a subject that isn’t. There’s nothing funny about divorce, but this may be the one exception….
