A divorce comedy about the necessity of jealousy
22 December 2021
This comedy might appear slightly too professional and exclusive, dealing with the problems of too much money and medical ethics. However, it is worth following it closely to the end, as some social problems also are brought up, and although quite outdated today, this was certainly an issue in those days, America being full of highly educated European refugees that were not allowed to work in America because of law formalisms. Barbara Hale is a qualified doctor who gets married to millionaire Larry Parks, who finds himself desperately jealous of all her male clients, one of them even flirting and wanting her to marry him. She has the upper hand because of her professionalism, while his money is of no value to her ethics and dedication to her job. However, he succeeds in turning the tables, while she discovers that other men (and all men) are just as much good-for-nothings as he. There are many twists to this comedy, but on the whole it holds water being splendidly spiritual with almost screwball ingredients, and the social chapter is interesting. Watching this will be no loss of time.
