Claudette Colbert stars as the frustrated wife of struggling engineer Joel McCrea. In a seemingly amicable agreement, Colbert hops a train to Palm Beach where divorces come easy. Desperate to escape a group of obnoxious millionaires on the train to Florida, Colbert hides out in a sleeping car where she meets, unbeknownst to her, one of the world's richest men (Rudy Vallee) who is relentless in his attempt to romance her.
Upon their arrival in Palm Beach, Colbert is met by her husband who has come to claim her back only to find that Vallee's man-crazy sister (Mary Astor) is after him!

This is a pleasant remarriage screwball. The charming Claudette Colbert carries the whole story on her own spicy shoulders. There are a thousand popular "I am someone else" situations (popular in their time). Of the male ensemble, I have to single out the sexy Rudy Vallée, who was still singing in Fleischers with Betty Boop in the early 1930s. I have to also praise the emigrant Sigi Arno, who for a change rampaged in German cinema during Weimar times (often alongside Anny Ondra) and eventually saved himself in the role of funny foreigners who, although not understood, are also not racially abused.

Preston Sturges further demonstrates that screwball comedies are his forte and that he can create excellent characters. It’s shown beautifully here, and the supporting roles will entertain splendidly. Above all, Toto is unforgettable. The film also entertains with its story, which may seem simple at first glance, but the plot develops beautifully until we find ourselves back at the beginning.
