Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Scandal and Romance
Irene Dunne is Theodora, a small town girl whose family's rigid morals prevent her from claiming her fame as Catherine Adams, the writer of a racy best seller. However, when she goes to New York to speak with her publisher, she meets a man played by Melvyn Douglas who follows her home and causes her to erupt with the truth about herself. The new freedom causes her to change completely and she follows her friend back to his home in New York because she loves him. Once there, she sees that he too hides ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Theodora Goes Wild
Irene Dunn is at her best. In a comedy role, she was outstanding! She has a remarkable sense of timing and delivery. This carried over wonderfully to her performance in MY FAVORITE WIFE. As an actress known mostly for her dramatic roles, she projected the comedy aspect. The story line of the film was very interesting, and made this a very enjoyable performance.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Girl Gone Wild
"Theodora Goes Wild" basically has Irene Dunne spoofing her previous roles. When today's audiences think of Irene Dunne (which they rarely do) we often associate her name with some of the great screwball comedies of all time, "The Awful Truth" (my personal favorite), and "My Favorite Wife", but Dunne first made her career acting in what were known as "weepers" (today's equivalent of a "chick flick") in such pictures as "This Man Is Mine" and "No Other Woman". She usually played the extremely understanding ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A DUNNE DEAL
One of the great underrated comedies of the 1930's!! It's shocking to realize this movie was made two years after the Hays Office clamped down on the studios because this picture has got everything a pre-code film could want - gags about illegitmate babies, prematrial sex, adulterous husbands, prudish (yet titilated) old biddies, etc. and who should star in this picture but one of the screen's most famous "ladies" Miss Irene Dunne!!! Her wholesome presence undoubtably got many a gag on screen that would ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Funny Comedy Debut for Dunne
Besides "The Awful Truth", this is Dunne's funniest comedy ("My Favorite Wife" running close too). She impersonates a small town girl with a double life, because nobody from her hometown knows that she's Caroline Adams, the "daring" and "sinful" (for that small town folk) authoress of an "outrageous" romantic novel.

Melvyn Douglas works perfectly with Dunne, as the playboy son of a wealthy banker, who designed Caroline Adams' book cover and gets mixed-up with her.

The film is very well ... Read More
