Richard Sale directs this marital comedy about a couple (Claudette Colbert and Macdonald Carey) who decide to part after 20 years of wedded bliss. When, with divorce proceedings well under way, her old boyfriend from the distant past (Zachary Scott) turns up, her husband has second thoughts. A well-characterised screenplay and decent performances make for a proficient and mildly amusing film, in which starlet Marilyn Monroe flits through in a bathing suit. However, it's an autumnal echo of Colbert's glittering earlier outings in the genre; Carey is no Fred MacMurray, and the soufflé only rises half-way.

Unremarkable but competent star comedy.

Boring
I know it is an old movie and they used to be quite mundane plots, but I think whoever put this together did so in five minutes on the back of a cigarette packet.
Granted Marylin Monroe is in it but that is it she is simply in it not a star and not looking like her later self.
Typical American plot, rich spoiled wife lives in a luxury home 'won' from her husband in a divorce along with his car and most of his money.Husband still has a thing for wife and spoiled daughter wants them to get back together again.Ridiculous and utterly boring in fact very annoying to see how divorces in the USA made women rich and men poor,. The ending is stupid and unbelievable and the acting throughout is wooden despite famous actors -

5 minute marilyn
most people who will be out to watch this film will be Marilyn Monroe fans. shes in it for a total 5 minutes so only watch it if its one of the last of her films youve got left to watch.
as a film itself its slightly dated. the daughter kinda makes you sick how childish she is trying to get her parents back together but i guess for a film made in 1951 thats part of its charm. -
