This musical reworking of Too Many Husbands (1940), features Grable as a top singer and dancer who's been widowed by WW II. She marries her late husband's songwriting partner, Gower Champion, but the new marriage is thrown for a loop when Lemmon, her first husband, turns up very much alive and eager to see Grable.
Practical Effects
Gower and Marge Champion's real-life dance partnership electrifies.
Costume
Grable's wardrobe budget clearly exceeded the script's.
Director
H. C. Potter
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the only film pairing real-life dance legends Marge and Gower Champion, though Gower got top billing over his own wife.
The 'Enoch Arden' plot—presumed-dead husband returns—was so common in 1940s-50s cinema that it became its own subgenre of marital farce.
