Mama may have told you there'd be days like this, but what she didn't tell you was that one day your doctor husband would drag you to Detroit for a honeymoon conveniently scheduled to coincide with a medical convention and then (shock! gasp!) go into partnership with one of them new-fangled lady doctors. That's the wispy premise upon which this Fox comedy rests, and probably isn't enough to entice the average movie junkie, but what Mother Didn't Tell Me does offer is a good second-string cast, including Dorothy McGuire as the jealous wife, William Lundigan as her hubby, and, in supporting roles, Gary Merrill, June Havoc, and Leif Erickson. Forgotten now, this film is terribly dated in a number of respects, but was popular enough back in the day to spawn not one, but two, radio adaptations. It's better than you'd expect and pleasant viewing on a cold and rainy autumn night.
