**SPOILERS*** Overstuffed, with hot air, Hollywood turkey of a screwball comedy that came out just in time for the 1939 Christmas Holiday season that almost destroyed the careers of the three major stars in it.

It was Sky's friend and partner in the advertising firm that he works for tall dark & handsome Jeff "Rainbow Eyes" Holland, Robert Taylor, who after laying his "rainbow eyes" on his fiancées Linda that he completely lost it.
Having no consideration at all for his best friend and business partner Sky "Rainbow Eyes" Jeff set his sights on Linda and forgot that she was engaged to Sky as well as him having a business to run. At first a bit puzzled by Jeff's strange, to put it mildly, behavior Linda did't take long to dump her future husband Sky without as much as a second thought. Even though Jeff was anything but dependable in being on time for anything even his wedding and honeymoon with Linda. Jeff also proves to be an off the wall oddball with Linda's parents her dizzy mom Mrs. Louise Bronson, Billie Burke, and horse loving dad Mr. George Bronson, Reginald Owen, who despite his childish antics agree to let him have Linda's hand in marriage.
Meanwhile back at the office Sky feeling that he's being treated like a first class schmuck by both Jeff and Linda comes up with an idea from one of the clients he's dealing with at the firm Dr. Schmidt, Sig Ruman. It's Dr. Schmidt who developed this magic potion that can make people forget their past going back as far as six months in time that Sky plans to get the couple to gulp down. With Jeff & Linda now married Sky plans to slip the forgot potion into their drinks and with their past, in meeting falling in love and getting married, obliterated he now can get a fresh start in life as well as with Linda.
