This is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer comedy with Rosalind Russell, Don Ameche, Kay Francis and Van Heflin in a story as modern as the new tax rate. The' story, told with a highly inventive and original sense of wit, relates how a professor of philosophy writes a book deriding the theory of jealousy. The academian's wife is unconvinced, but meek, until they arrive in New York to meet the publisher, Van Heflin. They also meet his assistant, Kay Francis, who promptly falls for the conventionflouting professor.
