My Favorite Wife

(1940)Directed by Garson Kanin88 minComedy, Romance
“The funniest, fastest honeymoon ever screened!”

Seven years after her ship vanished, Ellen Wagstaff Arden (Irene Dunne) is declared legally dead, and her husband Nick (Cary Grant) marries Bianca (Gail Patrick) the same day Ellen comes home. Garson Kanin sets the two women under one roof, with Nick trying to explain himself to both and to the two children who remember their mother. Whatever has happened to them since, Nick and Ellen can't stop circling each other.
