Take a refreshing plot with a novel twist, add line after line of wonderfully saucy dialogue, garnish with top-notch direction by W. S. Van Dyke II, and the result is one of the brightest romantic comedies ever essayed by the William Powell-Myrna Loy team. In this wildly original tale (by Charles Lederer, George Oppenheimer and Harry Kurnitz), Mr. Powell plays a big-city confidence man who awakens from a nine-year amnesia to discover he has become the manager of a small-town pottery works, joined the Elks and married Miss Loy. Partnered in a phony oil scam, he continues the charade, only to find that Miss Loy is about to divorce him for being such a fuddy-duddy! His problem: How to get the dough, avoid discovery and re-win the heart of his wife. The result is an unpredictable melange of swift gags and clever one-liners. William Powell and Myrna Loy. Screen legends. And a barrel of fun!
