Wonderful movie with great chemistry between Claudette Colbert and Melvyn Douglas. She portrays his executive secretary who has other designs when it comes to her boss.
Ready to leave for another position in Paris, Douglas realizes that he can't do without her and so they wed. Of course, his idea of marriage is for a strictly business relationship and hers of course is for love.
Colbert has plenty on her plate as Douglas has an unhappy, miserable young daughter from his unsuccessful marriage and a sister, Gertrude, who is nasty, obnoxious and will do anything to break up the marriage so as to keep her place in the household.
Colbert is wonderful as the career secretary who is able to balance bringing stability into the family and Douglas is great as the hard-nosed business man.
Of course, there are complications which threaten their liaison and even with a madcap ending, the film is most satisfying.
