Breezy comedy with Robert Young as a small-time shyster getting involved with bookie Sam Levene and they owe gangster Sheldon Leonard plenty of cash.
By fate, Young gets involved with a professor who has written a book about a bachelor's thought on marriage. Felix Bressart, the bachelor, likes to play the horses and is indebted too. He allows Young to assume his identity and at the same time promote his book.
It's a shame that the usual tough-guy Leonard has little to do here and ditto for Levene.
Ruth Hussey is a delight as Young's wife, forced to go along with the idea that Young is the bachelor while promoting the book.
The radio show ending with Young interviewing women with problem marriages becomes hilarious when one of the women is none other than Hussey. Lee Bowman plays the book's producer who not knowing that Young is married, falls for Hussey.
