Theodora Lynn (Irene Dunne) is a prim and proper Sunday school teacher raised by her two prim and proper aunts. All the ladies in town are up in arms when the local paper starts publishing excerpts from a scandalous book written by Caroline Adams. Nobody knows Theodora's secret. She's Caroline Adams. Only her publisher knows and she would like to keep it that way. Nosy cover artist Michael Grant (Melvyn Douglas) overhears them and starts pursuing her.
He's a little too pushy, a little too stalker. It's a different time and different sensibilities. A guy can get away with some caddish behavior back then. It's meant to be fun. The coupling works better with that in mind. It's a fun rom-com. Irene Dunne is terrific. Douglas is able to play it with lightness. All in all, this is a fun comedy and a nice pair.
