Review of Hired Wife

Hired Wife (1940)
9/10
Hired Wife is Employable ***1/2
21 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Great screwball comedy featuring the talents of Brian Aherne and Rosalind Russell. Russell is the faithful secretary to Aherne's cement business.

It soon becomes advantageous for Aherne to marry for business purposes. After the wedding occurs, they soon find that they're not compatible. Of course, I omitted that Russell had lied to his girlfriend so that she could marry him.

The line of the marriage papers not being filled correctly also is again used in this picture as well. Did Hollywood always see that type of situation as a way out?

Wonderful support is given by others in this film.
