Too Many Husbands (1940)

When the presumed dead Fred MacMurray returns home after being missing for a year, he is surprised to discover his best friend and business partner Melvyn Douglas and his wife Jean Arthur have married each other in his absence. Someone accidentally finding themselves with two spouses is hardly a unique story at this point and there are some weirdly questionable points in this particular iteration. It is delightful to see Jean reap the benefits of the situation as both of her husbands have neglected her for either adventure or work during her history with them. It’s unfortunate that everyone, including her own father, are pushy and insistent that she has to make a life-determining decision as soon as possible.
