Though Fred MacMurray and Eleanor Parker do prove that they're adept at comedy, this 1951 film becomes tiresome after a while. You want to shout out-tell him that he inherited the $2 million because his father died. At that only come to pass, a story could have still revolved about that and the audience would have had more fun in viewing this film.
As a secretary struggling to help her family out, Parker is encouraged by fellow secretary, Una Merkel, greatly unused here, to catch MacMurray who has just inherited $2 million.
Through missed opportunities and MacMurray going off to his wedding, Parker, who exhibits feigning fainting spells to draw MacMurray's sympathy to her, she is unable to convey what has really occurred and Fred thinks she has amnesia.
A sub-plot evolves around Fred's friend, nicely played by Richard Carlson, as a psychiatrist who wants to extract revenge on the MacMurray character for taking his girl away.
Their night together in a Spanish speaking place is fun, but you reach a point where you want the truth to come out, and when it finally does, you're tired of the whole thing-even with the money going to charity and MacMurray and Parker fleeing police, newsmen and others at film's end.
