    This might have played out better had there not been a glaring inevitability to the denouement right from the start! Racehorse owner "Randall" (Joel McCrea) and ex-wife "Valerie" (Nancy Kelly) are having a dance when the cops show up and arrest him for non-payment of alimony. It's only a short term glitch, but sets the scene for a film that sees him desperate for her to marry again and get her hands out of his wallet! To that end he has the support of his lawyer "Carter" (Roland Young) and to be fair to "Valerie", she has no shortage of suitors. The more they try to fix her up, though, the more...
