Claudette Colbert wakes up on a train between NYC/Boston and hasn't the foggiest how she got there. She and devoted hubby Don Ameche manage to get her back to NYC on a plane with fellow passenger Robt Cummings. Claudette has all the moolah in the family, whilst hubby Don goes to the office. Since Claudette may be going bonkers, a psychiatrist appears and confirms she is definitely looney tunes. But, wait...something smells and after an evening of fun and cheer at a Chinese wedding with Cummings, we find that hubby Don is hitting sexy Lauren Bacall-Veronica Lake look-alike and they and the psychiatrist are plotting to dispose of Claudette because Don's hottsy wants Claudette's dough,her house and stuff and she wants her man too, and she wants it NOW so Don better bump her off and soon! Cat & mouse between Don and Cummings for a bit. Then Don makes his move to kill Claudette but things go awry and the psychiatrist (who is actually only a photographer) and Don get shot and Cummings saves Claudette and they fade to the end with the romantic Brooklyn Bridge in the background. This semi-Noir is OK, too bad Claudette always looked sort of matronly to me and Cummings with his shoe polish shellacked hair, the story gets a bit soapy and hammy at times, however a happy ending is always enjoyable.
