Day-Time Wife (1939)

Put this One to Bed **

Warning: Spoilers
Inane film with Tyrone Power trying comedy and not doing very well at it.

It's basically the same old story of a wife, Linda Darnell, discovering that her husband has been fooling around with his secretary. To see the point of view of a secretary, she takes a position as one, only to learn that her boss is in contract negotiations with her husband. There is a nice acting job by Warren William as her employer, who is always mindful of his wife as he plays the field as well.

Joan Davis appears as his secretary but is given little to do here. Her comedic gifts are not allowed to be developed to its full potential. As Blanche, friend to the Darnell character, Binnie Barnes is given some funny lines.

The film basically becomes one of trying to hide identities from each of the existing couples.
