Well, it kinda is. During Antia's, Loretta Young, wedding shower she decides she is going to the magic show of The Great Arturo, David Niven. When she gets there she get the chance to meet them on stage and fall in love. They get married shortly after they meet and Anita becomes his assistant in his act. After almost nearly two years on the road Anita wants to settle down and have kids and not travel the world anymore. She secret builds a house in the country and wants to surprise Tony with it. However, about the same time she is going to break the news to him, Tony gets drunk and tells a reporter that he is going to jump 15,000 feet out of an airplane, with a parachute and his hands handcuffed together for his next big trick. He goes through with the trick against Anita's wishes. After doing the trick several times, Anita tells him if he continues to do the trick she is going to leave him. Not believing she would actually leave he does the trick again and she walks out and goes to Reno to get a divorce. While on vacation, Anita runs into her first fiance and decides to get married on a whim on the ship they are on. Now on the impromptu honeymoon, when they get to shore and go to the show they find Tony doing his act at the club they show up to. During the time they spend together Anita finds that the divorce she got was not actually legal. Will she get the divorce to stick again or will she end up staying with Tony after all?
I have to say that this is another 1939 classic. It's really a funny and cute movie. David Niven has been really wonderful in the movies that I have seen him in. This one was no exception. It's a simple feel good movie that doesn't drag your emotions through the trenches. Some movies you want the high and lows of all emotion and others you don't need that. You just need a little while to escape. This is one of the latter. Sweet movies like these are rare fun find but they are wonderful none the less.
