My Favorite Wife

All aboard for a spinning marriage-go-round!

In this classic comedy, a man is flabbergasted when his wife returns seven years after she was presumed dead and sets out to reclaim her former life—on the day Nick marries someone else.

Cary Grant, the screen's ideal combination of romantic hunk and comedy buffoon, plays flabbergasted Nick. Radiant Irene Dunne (Grant's The Awful Truth and Penny Serenade co-star) plays the returned wife who cagily sets out to reclaim her former life.

Randolph Scott and Gail Patrick add to the marital mixup as Nick goes from having one wife to two to none to one. The right one.

What romantic comedy has joined together let no one put asunder. Of all the giddy screwball comedies ever made, this remains an enduring favorite.
