Margaret (Lucille Ball) and William Weldon (Franchot Tone) are newlyweds. Ad man Bill is selling a light weight hat. She saves his bacon and he's not that happy about it. He backs a scientist creating a hair remover but accidentally discovers a hair-growing formula. It only gets crazier.
The businessmen getting scared about growing beards is the most unrealistic premise in the movie. These men should be overjoyed. They are about to become incredibly rich. Didn't people do crazy things to grow hair back in the day? I guess that it's saving the idea for Margaret but it's not smart writing. Bill comes off as a complete idiot. I have no idea what hair growing would mean back in 1947 but I can't see how anybody wouldn't get it. The movie is going fine until it hits this roadblock. The other problem is that Bill or this marriage is not worth rooting for. He goes too far. I actually like the invention getting crazier and crazier. I just want Bill to be nicer to Margaret.
