An ideal example of "act in haste, repent at leisure" this one, as poor old "Rob Dakin" (Robert Taylor) quite literally stumbles upon the bored "Kay" (Janet Gaynor) in her out of the way town. She takes an immediate shine to him, and on his drunken whim they marry... Next morning, he wakes up with a bit more than an hangover but his well-to-do parents insist that they sit tight for six months before divorcing. Less scandalous that way? Needless to say, his erstwhile fiancée "Priscilla" (Binnie Barnes) is none to pleased by her now ex-beau's activities - and "Kay" is still quite keen to hang onto to him. What will the six months bring? It's an enjoyable - if predictable - little caper this, with both Taylor and Gaynor on fine form. The comedy is simple, but still quite engaging and Binnie Barnes and Andy Divine (or, more specifically, his falsetto voice) work well to keep the pace moving along nicely. It is too long - the middle of the film has a bit of a paunch to it, but when the two at the top of the bill are on screen together, it's an amiable enough film to watch.
