This is the remake of the 1940's comedy My Favorite Wife originally planned for Marilyn Monroe. However, Marilyn was later dropped and the part eventually re-written for Doris Day.

The story begins five years after Arden's wife Ellen disappeared and is declared legally dead. Arden remarries and sets off to Monteray with his new wife Bianca. The same morning, Ellen arrives home after being rescued by the Navy from a desert island. Could things get any more confusing? Yes they do and the slap-stick plot unfolds...

Songs featured are Twinkle Lullaby and the title tune which was a European hit single.
