Excellent mix of screwball comedy and melodrama, with Dorothy McGuire stealing every scene. She is married to older Robert Young, living in the country and struggling to get by on the farm. Her naivety causes her to question his love for her and she does some rather stupid things. On the other hand it is her naivety that causes her to be so attractive. Robert Young goes with the flow but still has second thoughts. A visit from a Russian opera star is uproarious, as is the scene with the British gentleman. A serious tone threatens to overtake the last act, but it is handled with a grace that would make Frank Capra proud.
