On the face of it, this film is a bit ridiculous on just about every front. A millionaire playboy is involved in a minor car accident. Whilst he is being treated for the after-effects, he meets (chooses, more like) the doctor and next thing they have an whirlwind romance and are soon married. The thing is that she "Dr. Hunt. (Barbara Hale) is determined to keep on being a doctor, and although he "Kirk" (Larry Parks) has no objections initially, he soon becomes insanely jealous of the time his wife is spending with other men. Initially, this jealously is quite good natured and mildly entertaining, but as his behaviour becomes more obsessive, the jokes starts to wain and the film actually becomes just a little bit creepy as finally she has had enough - or has she? The scenarios recycle themselves far too often, and though the writing is amusing at the start, that recycles itself too often, too - by half way through, the film is actually beginning to get quite annoying. Alan Reed has a few fun scenes as his barber/confessor but sadly, the rest of this is just a bit of a one joke film that peters out quite quickly.
