No Place Like Movies at Home: The Gay Divorcee

 If anyone on here happens to read anything, I doubt it but I still enjoy writing it, you might remember this movie. This was one of the movies I made Alaina watch a few years ago when I was having her watch classics. I am very excited that I get to share The Gay Divorcee with you again. 


The movie stars us off at a ship port meeting our wonderful cast. Mimi (Rogers) is meeting her aunt at the ship to pick her up. We are informed that Mimi is unhappily married and her husband refuses to grant her one. She comes to her aunt for help. While Mimi's aunt is getting things sorted out she meets the charming Guy. However, they she doesn't take to him at first as much as Guy does. Don't forget this is a movie so they meet up again soon. Where they end up meeting up is at a hotel where Mimi and her Aunt have a plan to have Mimi "caught" with another man to have her husband file for divorce rather than keep begging him for one. However, things get messed up with Mimi thinks that Guy is the man that is hired to play her lover. The real man is still running all over the hotel trying to find the right woman to give the password to so they can put on the coup. Everything goes sideways when the man finds her and the three of them have to spend the night in the hotel room together to have this plan work. The question is will it work or will still things go wrong when her husband shows up the next morning.

I love this movie so much. It has to be on of the ones I watch the most. It's probably my second favorite that they do. I really like another one more but this one is great. This is the first movie that they are the star couple together. This is their 3rd pairing together. I didn't mean to watch them out of order but that is how they are up into my collection was out of order. This is always that one I recommend to someone when they want to watch Astaire and Rogers. It's funny and their dancing is superb as always. I am really excited to be revisiting these films cause it's been a very long time since I was able to watch all of them.
