Lincoln bartlett (van johnson) has been divorced from ina (kathryn grayson) for years, but she wants him back. And they are both performers in an orchestra. So they will be seeing lots of each other! Bartlett is seeing agnes (paula raymond), and wants no part of ina romantically. Co-stars reg owen, lewis stone, and richard anderson... he was oscar goldman in the six million dollar man. This is a small, early role for him. Ina seems to be a psychotic stalker, and ignores bartlett's advice to take a break from singing, for medical reasons. She's madly jealous that he has another girlfriend. Nowadays, he would probably take out a restraining order to keep her away. So much singing in the ridiculously high octaves. And the good doctor has so many hobbies... he plays in the orchestra, goes to football games, dances with the ex wife, for some reason. Gives lectures to community clubs. Even owns a toy company with his brother. How does he have time to be a doctor? This one is just okay. It's pretty over the top. Directed by bob leonard. He was nominated for two oscars in the 1930s. This one just gets silly.
