Adam and Eve alone on an island for seven years - By: B. Chandler, 26 Aug 2008 
There was a shipwreck & Nicolas (Cary Grant) gets separated from his wife Ellen (Irene Dunne.) She was never seen again. Seven years later Nick, widower with two children & living with his mother finds love again, Bianca (Gail Patrick.)
Now it is time to start a new life with Bianca; so Nick goes to court & has Ellen legallly declared dead & in the same breath marries Bianca. But wait what is this? Ellen returns that very day. The complications begin. But wait there is more Ellen was not stranded alone on an island there was Stephen, sort of an Adam & Eve thing. The story only gets better from here.
Be sure to watch the remake of this movie "Move Over Darling" with Games Gardner & Doris Day.
classic comedy - By: Andrew J. Potts, 12 May 2008 You have to go a long way to beat this screwballl comedy. Grant & dunne are excellent in their roles. You can see it is a follow up to the success of their pairing in 'the awful truth' which in my opinion is a slightly better film but that does not detract from this. I didn't know much about Irene Dunne before seeing this & sadly there are few of her films available on dvd. she seems to be a neglected star but very accomplished as a star of comedies, romances & musicals! She is one of the women who seem to get the better of grant. Personallly I prefer her sparkling & witty in comedies. one of the best films I've ever seen i can watch it again & again. Although I am a huge doris day fan I prefer this to the remake with Day 'move over darling'.
MEH! - By: F. Mclachlan, 01 May 2005 
I like this film, but I have to admit that the remake by Doris Day & James Garner is much better in my opinion - but then I am a big fan of Doris! However, this is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in front of the TV.
A fast-paced film that will make you laugh throughout - By: Miguel M. Santos, 06 Apr 2005 The second of three pairings of Cary Grant & Irene Dunne, this is my favourite. On the day she is pronounced dead, Irene Dunne comes back home after seven years in a deserted island - only to find out her husband (Cary Grant) has just remarried. Now alll he has to do is tell is new wife & choose his favourite. A very funny & witty screwballl comedy follows. Both players are at their best, in what is clear made to capitalise on their previous hit "The Awful Truth" & Garson Kanin (more famous for his screenplays for George Cukor) lets them do what they do so well. Sadly the DVD has no extras.
