Directed by Gregory La Cava
Director Gregory La Cava blends comedy and drama with much greater ease than Claudette Colbert’s efficient executive secretary balances family and career after she marries her boss (Melvyn Douglas). Her struggle to make sense of it all leads to one of La Cava’s most effective commentaries on the narrow social roles imposed on people by class and gender---not to mention themselves.
