Trivia
A young Charles Lane appears as the judge here. He would go on to a long career, usually playing a hard-nosed character. Even in this early appearance, his unmistakable voice can be heard.

Goofs
Michael tells the cab driver to take him to Pier 48, North River (i.e. Hudson River). However, when Carolyn, Hugh, Paul and Mattie arrive, there is a large sign indicating it's Pier 21.

Quotes
Paul Dodson: Without my wife, I'm comparatively alone in the world. Even with my wife, I'm comparatively alone in the world.

This is kind of a movie version of an I Love Lucy episode - It's the trials & tribulations of a couple, accompanied by their sidekicks, the other married couple. The girls stick together, the guys stick together. Then Robert Young walks in to "help", but things get all mixed up. Clever script. Helen Broderick plays the same sarcastic, older but wiser friend that sticks by the young bride when things get tough that she played so many times (Father takes a bride, Smartest Girl in Town, Top Hat) Robert Young is the dashing interloper that really does want to help out, but just makes things worse. Ned Sparks is a riot, always muttering things under his breath, the poor suffering husband with a cigar hanging out the corner of his mouth. This movie makes light of some of those old fashioned sexist ideas,(domestic violence, man/wife roles) so may offend some, but then it was made for a different time. Seems to be a remake of "Ten Cents a Dance" from 1931, which also starred B. Stanwyck. I have tried to find the video for sale, have not had luck as of yet.
