A couple of lonesome and 1937-horny wives (Diana Churchill and June Clyde) fall for a philanderer (Rex Harrison), and arrange to get their husbands (Henry Kendall and Romney Brent) off to Paris so they can be free for one night of philandering phun and phrolic. The husbands are all for this as they think it will cure their wives of being infatuated with this man-about-town...and there is always the chance they may run into a couple of philandering phillies in ol' Paree.Actually, the philanderer is the one who put the idea in their heads to go away so the coast will be clear for his marauding raid party, with no intentions of curing anybody of anything.The Film Daily reviewer allowed that this film would shock the little old ladies of Dubuque (as in Iowa), but the chances were it would never show in Dubuque when the censors got through with it, for there would be little left to make much sense, for the risqué stuff comes not only in dialogue but in business.(He didn't bother to explain just what he considered constituted "business" but he evidently thought that despite the rising population numbers in Dubuque at the time, the mothers and grandmothers of Dubuque didn't indulge in any business while raising those numbers.) And, then, he got real snitty tacky and wrote...this will probably go big in the arty houses, but it is not suitable for juvenile minds. That means it is out for most of our theaters which have a large percentage of juvenile minds. You have to be grown up mentally to ride with this one." (Note that he wrote "juvenile minds" and not juvenile attendance...and, possibly was rebuked in the Dubuque bus station at some point in his life while growing up mentally strong enough to be able to ride with "School For Husbands." ) Those Dubuque censors must have been really tough, because stiff-necked Joe Breen gave this his PCA approval. He might have looked away and missed the scenes when they were doing business, though.They ate it up in Peoria, Paducah and Philly.
