Some funny people deal with jealousies concerning a present of négligé given to an old girlfriend (Gail Patrick) by the newly married Dennis O'Keefe. His wife, Marjorie Reynolds, gets into a snit by her presence while aunt Charlotte Greenwood rushes around with a rifle. Toss in Mischa Auer, Binnie Barnes and an unseen mother-in-law chattering non-stop on the phone, and you've got an old fashioned marital farce that really makes no sense. This is the type of stage farce that "Noises Off" spoofed so much better than the real deal.
While the acting is acceptable, it's the fault of the script which probably worked on stage but seems to fall flat on the screen, much like producer Edward Small's follow- up, "Getting Gertie's Garter". A prologue gives the impression that it's comparing marriage to World War II. It's an attractive film, but laughs are few and far between.
