This film has some amusing and some heart-warming moments, but all in all the premise did not work that well for me. Poor Betty (Claudette Colbert) is in such a pickle, you have to pity her. She does her best to deal with what you can only describe as an extremely nasty surprise that her husband (Fred MacMurray) has sprung on her - you marvel at her patience and forbearance. For me, that overshadowed the funny aspects of the film. The two lead actors are of course doing well; the chemistry between them is good. Moreover, the picture is well-directed, but it is too long for the rather thin story, at least for my taste.
