Instead, she puts him through the hell of another courtship. The sex has gone out of the childless couple’s three-year marriage but when David learns that a legal loophole has rendered their union null and void, he becomes aroused by the prospect of reseducing the newly coy and virginal Ann. The handsome and prosperous Smiths, David (Robert Montgomery) and Ann (Carole Lombard), lock themselves in a bedroom for three days-to talk out a squabble. Alfred Hitchcock’s sole screwball comedy, from 1941, reeks of erotic horror.
