Just because a movie has a conflict doesn't mean it has a plotline. The only difference between this and screwball comedies of the 1930's is that it involves a divorced woman who finds out on the wedding day to her potential second husband that she's pregnant with her first husband's child.
This is nowhere near the class act of the comedies that Robert Young did at MGM, playing the self centered ex-husband who is called to the canceled wedding to tell him the news. He decides he wants ex-wife Barbara Hale back which leads to lots of arguments with her fiance Robert Hutton.
A very funny scene in a doctor's office with Mary Treen looking on at the confusion of the two men and one woman is the highlight of the film. Billie Burke as Hale's mother basically spends the film comparing her pregnancy cravings to her daughters, and after the second or third time, it begins to get tiresome. At least she's not the feather brained matron sounding like a chipmunk here.
Janis Carter, Columbia's go to glamorous other woman in lots of films of the late 40's and 50's, basically plays the same part here, and the writing surrounding her return is completely unbelievable. it looks nice and glamorous but the pedestrian script makes this an instantly forgettable comedy.
