Remember? (1939)

When a man (Lew Ayres) introduces his fiancee (Greer Garson) to his best friend (Robert Taylor), he didn't expect to be dumped and the two run off and elope. But he's loyal to them both and when their marriage begins to deteriorate rapidly after the first few weeks, he takes drastic measures to save the marriage. Directed by Norman Z. McLeod (HORSE FEATHERS), this slight screwball romcom has a decent script that doesn't take full advantage of its possibilities. The casting is also off. While Ayres is charming, Robert Taylor and Greer Garson aren't the first two actors who come to mind when you think of romantic comedy. There are two genuinely hilarious scenes in the film: the first when Taylor and Garson have a fight in a room unaware that it's a surprise party and the guests are all hiding in the room and can hear every word. The other involves amnesia and they forget they're married. If only Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell had taken over. With Billie Burke doing her patented scatterbrain act, Reginald Owen, Henry Travers, Sara Haden and Sig Ruman.
