Jane Wyman and Ray Milland are a bickering "modern" couple considering divorce. Ray lies about his business trips while partying all night with an exotic dancer. Jane gets even by staying out all night with a playboy then lying about a hotel tryst. Their juvenile antics are tiring and the constant sexual innuendo dumb. Ray is not credible as a hep jazz cat, his drum scene is embarrassing and his use of jazz lingo just as implausible. There is a campy nightclub scene featuring dancing African natives. Jane dances to the same song later on while party goers urge her on with chants of "go girl go!". Oh my.
