My Favorite Wife movie trailer (1940) - Plot synopsis: A funny thing happens to newlywed Nick Arden on his way to the honeymoon suite. He meets his wife. No, not his bride. He meets the wife who was lost at sea seven years ago and presumed dead. All aboard for a spinning marriage-go-round! Cary Grant, the screen's ideal combination of romantic hunk and comedy buffoon, plays flabbergasted Nick. Radiant Irene Dunne, Grant's The Awful Truth and Penny Serenade costar, plays the returned wife who cagily sets out to reclaim her former life. And Randolph Scott and Gail Patrick add to the marital mix-up as Nick goes from having one wife to two to none to one. The right one. What romantic comedy has joined together, let no one put asunder. Of all the giddy screwball comedies ever made, this remains an enduring favorite.
