Frankly, I was surprised to learn that the two stars of this obscure but engaging comedy Fred MacMurray and Madeleine Carroll had starred in four previous films together (all of which are, for that matter, even less well-known than this one and, curiously enough, directed by the same here it comes again little known director!). In fact, this was not only Carroll's fifth and final teaming with MacMurray but also her penultimate film; that said, the two stars display a nice chemistry throughout.
The plot itself recalls to a certain degree the classic THE AWFUL TRUTH (1937), where a married couple starts divorce proceedings (and new affairs) but then decide they're best suited for each other at the end. MacMurray is an advertising executive (a lot of comedies from this era were set in this milieu) and Carroll his somewhat neglected wife he says that his constant delays at work involve business meetings, but she suspects the presence of another woman (being the type of comedy it is, she turns out to be right and, to make matters worse, the girl played by Louise Albritton concerned is none other than an ex-flame of MacMurray's!). In order to make her husband jealous, she hires an actor through an agency to flirt with her at a restaurant but a waiter's mistake lands her in the arms of a Southern tobacco tycoon (Charles "Buddy" Rogers)!
Anyway, the comic situations that ensue (typically, these usually involve misunderstanding and embarrassment) make for a pleasant and unassuming hour and a half; highlights include Rogers explaining to MacMurray how he applied logic to arrive at the name "Kim Zezyzle" for his brand of cigarettes, and Alan Mowbray posing as Albritton's husband during a dinner engagement for MacMurray's benefit constantly interrupting the sensitive conversation (even after Carroll has joined the table) to boorishly ask, "When do we eat?"
