Quotes:
Tom 'Tommy':
You're up tp your old tricks, eh? Three calls so far today.
'Rickey' Mayberry: Who were they?
Tom 'Tommy': All the same party. She said to tell you she was stopping at the Hanover Apartments, and to get in touch with her. Some dame named Irene Malcolm.
'Rickey' Mayberry: Tommy, are you really glad to see me?
Tom 'Tommy': Well, sure I am.
'Rickey' Mayberry: Then do me a favor and call her up and try to date her up. I'll give you anything if you take her off my hands.
Tom 'Tommy': You're a cinch. All you have to do is pay the expenses.
'Rickey' Mayberry: I'll do better than that. Someday, if there ever is a dame that bothers you, just call me and I'll take you off the hook.
[enters his boss's office, Irene is sitting across the desk; she heard the entire conversation.]
'Rickey' Mayberry: Checking in chief!

Dennis Morgan, Merle Oberon, Rita Hayworth, and Ralph Bellamy are "Affectionately Yours" in this 1941 comedy. Morgan is a newspaper reporter who travels constantly. His current amour is Malcolm (Hayworth), and he gives her the same story he's given all of them - his wife (Oberon) won't divorce him. However, he receives a telegram stating that she has, and he panics. He rushes home to New York, with Malcolm right behind him, and tries to woo her back. She's planning to marry Mr. Wright (Bellamy), who is more than disturbed by the fact that she still seems interested in her husband.
This is a fairly trite comedy with some very funny slapstick and, of course, two of the screen's most beautiful women, Oberon and Hayworth. This film was made just before Hayworth broke through into big stardom, and she's delicious. She has the best role in the film. It always amuses me to see her so vivacious and talkative on screen. According to one of her biographers, when the kids from the old neighborhood saw her on screen for the first time, they were shocked at how much she was talking. She never talked as a young girl. Though she didn't really like movie stardom, the screen was where she could let herself go and be someone else. Morgan is attractive and just right as the errant husband. Bellamy is in his usual role as the man who doesn't get the girl, and he does beleaguered very well. Oberon lends sophistication and class to the film. Someone commented here that she looked plump. I don't know what they're talking about.
This is a good movie to see for the stars. The story isn't much.
