Wissenswertes
There are incorrect accounts stating that Irene Dunne replaced Marlene Dietrich on this picture. Dietrich was assigned to a different film also called "Invitation to Happiness," but it had no connection with the Dunne project. Since the title had been already registered, Paramount recycled it for the Dunne movie.

A long time for his title shot

Invitation To Happiness is the story of a pair of unlikely marriage between society girl Irene Dunne and prizefighter Fred MacMurray. It happens when Irene's father William Collier buys an interest in MacMurray's contract and Dunne takes an interest in her sportsman father's new acquisition.

They have a son who is played by Billy Lee, but they grow apart and divorce. But eventually MacMurray gets his long dreamed of title shot.

Billy Lee was 14 when he made this film and looks it. Which means that Fred would have been boxing for 14 years when he got his title fight. That is an awfully long time in the fight game to wait for a championship bout. MacMurray would have been fighting for eating money by that time as a trial horse if he was still in the fight game.

Irene is her usual soap opera heroine in this film. She and Fred don't quite gel in this film. One wonders what kind of future they would have after his fighting days are over.

Can't quite accept the movie's favorite milquetoast Charlie Ruggles as a boxing manager.

Invitation To Happiness is not in the top 10 for Dunne or MacMurray.
