Summary: Too Bad It's Been Colorized
Review: I can't believe it! One of my favorite Cary Grant movies, finally released on DVD, and they chose to use the colorized version!!!
WHO WAS THE MARKETING GENIUS THAT COME UP WITH THIS ONE?
I love this little movie, but now I'll have to take a pass on buying the DVD.
Sorry Warner Home Video, you messed up on this one........

Summary: Not Half as Good as Others I've Seen
Review: I find all the praise heaped on this movie rather confusing. I found it boring and contrived. The performances were excellent, but finally overwhelmed by the sheer implausibility of the situation. Why does it take Cary Grant's character so long to tell his new wife about the situation? Surely he's putting himself through more anguish by delaying the inevitable, and his various excuses never make sense. In the end, I felt sorry for Bianca, and frustrated by the "sympathetic" leads. Ellen's mother-in-law tells her at the beginning that Bianca is not a nice person, but it seems to me that she reacts in a perfectly understandable way and that everyone treats her very badly. There were some very funny moments, like the athletic Stephen Birkett making an exhibition of himself by the pool, and Cary Grants reaction, and Grant and Irene Dunne do have chemistry. However, I found their chemistry to be on much better display in The Awful Truth. Holiday is a much funnier movie for Cary Grant fans, and indeed, he made so many excellent screwball comedies that its a shame to waste time on this overrated one.

Summary: Wow what a great movie
Review: I had always loved the Doris Day remake of this movie so when I saw this at a video store I bought it. I love this movie even more. I love Cary Grants role and Irene Dunne. I also like the people who they chose to be their 2 little kids. They did a good job on getting that iddiot girl for the 2nd wife of Cary. I mean she was a sex maniac. What was up with that Cheetah Robe! She was only interested in Cary for 2 reasons his hunky looks and his bank account! You sure are glad when Irene comes in at right the right moment and saves the day!

Summary: Non-Stop Laughter
Review: I haven't seen this movie in years, but I have never forgotten it. It has to be one of the funniest Grant and Dunne movies ever! I hope the studio's get smart and release it on video real soon.

Summary: Huh? Colorized Version? But Why? Shame on You, Warner!
Review: I was about to order this one until I read the comments by the reviewer from Holladay, UT. Just proves you have to carefully check out the description of a DVD before ordering. I couldn't conceive that this film would be released other than in black and white.What could Warner be thinking by releasing the "Crayola" version? Didn't the studios realize a long time ago that their experiment with colorization was a big disaster? Amazon.com should provide reviewers with a "0-stars" option to deal with situations like this one. Being forced to award Warner 1 star for this tragedy is very painful.

Summary: Funny boneless bigamous husband
Review: Irene Dunne and Cary Grant are the husband and wife of a strange couple. The situation is absolutely funny and the judge who deals with the events is a caricature of competence. A first wife declared dead by a court, a second wife who will never be one really due to the arrival of the dead wife back onto the scene, and all the peripherals of such a situation. The interest of the film is the character played by Cary Grant : a shy, frightened and boneless lawyer and husband who can never come to a clear cut decision in an intricate situation mixing up misled court decisions, bigamy, love and jealousy, truth and lies. A good entertaining film. Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

Summary: Marilyn Monroe was also Ellen!
Review: Just a piece of trivia here. Some have already mentioned the remake made in 1963 starring Doris Day. Well, few know that the pic Marilyn Monroe was shooting when she died was meant to be this remake called "Something's got to give". The project was ill fated for obvious reasons, so after Monroe's suicide, the producers changed the title, stars and director and made "Move over darling" a year after. If you wonder how it would have come out had Marilyn finished it, just check the DVD Marilyn Monroe Diamond collection. There's a wonderful documentary on the making of this picture and at the end, an edited version of the first 45 minutes of the movie, made with restored material. Really amazing and an interesting look on the aproach miss Monroe gave to the part.

Summary: I just love Carey Grant
Review: Movies today just seem to a lot of "In your face" action, that is one of reasons that I so much enjoy older movies like "My Favorite Wife" with Carey Grant and Irene Dunne.
Lawyer Nick Arden (Carey Grant) is man with a serious problem. On the day that his first wife Ellen (Irene Dunne) was declared dead and he get remarried to Bianca (Gail Patrick), Ellen shows up a live and well after being stuck on a south pacific island for the last seven years. Needless to say comedy happens as Ellen tries to reclaim her husband and family.
Some viewers will relize that "Move over Darling" with Doris Day and James Garner is a remake of "My Favorite Wife" but let assure you "My Favorite Wife" is much better due the acting of both Dunne and Grant and should not be missed.

Summary: A Classic That Should Be on DVD!
Review: My favorite wife is a wonderful movie and Cary Grant and Irene Dunne are fantastic. Irene Dunne plays a woman named Ellen who was presumed dead after an accident at sea. It's 7 years later and her husband played by Cary Grant has her legally declared dead and then he gets married to Bianca who is a snobby high society woman and very whiney and annoying but unbeknownst to him first wife Ellen has been rescued from an Island where she and another man have been marooned for the past 7 years and she has just shown up at their house sees their children who were very young when she disappeared and finds out from his mother that he has just gotten remarried to a woman she is not to fond of, and since Ellen isn't really dead she sets out to let her husband know that she is alive and that they belong together and there are a lot more interesting twists in the plot too that make it even funnier. The movie was remade in the 1960's as Move Over Darling, starring James Garner and Doris Day, it was a very good movie but not as good as the original, but it's still worth watching and it's worth having both movies in your video collection but personally I think both movies should be released on DVD but especially My Favorite Wife.
