Farce where Robert Taylor falls immediately for the fiancée of his best friend, Lew Ayres, none other than Greer Garson.
The two quickly wed but seem to be mismatched from the very beginning in this rather dull romantic comedy of 1939.
Billie Burke, as Garson's mother, has some funny moments with her usual ditsy behavior and that croaking voice of hers.
Laura Hope Crews, Aunt Pity Pat that same year, in "Gone With the Wind" plays Burke's sister but has little to do here.
After insulting Garson's family, the two quickly divorce but Ayres steps in to give them both a potion that will make them quickly forget everything. The silliness of the picture is that the two begin their relationship again as history repeats itself.
No wonder Ayres takes the potion himself at the film's end. This is really one that we quickly want to forget.
Henry Travers, Garson's co-star in the memorable "Mrs. Miniver," plays the judge who marries the couple twice. Twice is more than enough for this film.
Garson made another film several years later dealing with forgetfulness, the great "Random Harvest," where Ronald Colman's bout with amnesia was memorable in the film. That was a film to remember.
