After Her Husband is Lost at Sea and Declared Legally Dead, the Distraught Widow Marries His Best Friend. Then, the First Husband Returns Home, Very Much Alive... • Plot (may contain spoilers): Vicky Lowndes (Jean Arthur) loses her first husband, Bill Cardew (Fred MacMurray), when he is lost at sea, presumed drowned, and declared legally dead. The lonely widow is comforted by Bill's best friend and publishing business partner, Henry Lowndes (Melvyn Douglas). Six months later, she marries him. Six months after that, Bill shows up, after having been stranded on a uninhabited island and then rescued. Vicky has a tough choice to make. • __________ • Too Many Husbands (released in the United Kingdom as My Two Husbands) is a 1940 American romantic comedy film about a woman who loses her husband in a boating accident and remarries, only to have her first spouse reappear—yet another variation on the 1864 poem Enoch Arden by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The film stars Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray and Melvyn Douglas, and is based on the 1919 play Home and Beauty by W. Somerset Maugham, which was retitled Too Many Husbands when it came to New York. The film was directed by Wesley Ruggles. • A couple of months after Too Many Husbands was released by Columbia, RKO put out a movie that was more popular both then and now, My Favorite Wife, a variation on the story with Cary Grant as the remarried spouse whose former wife Irene Dunne returns from sea. Too Many Husbands was remade as a musical, Three for the Show (1955), with Jack Lemmon and Betty Grable. My Favorite Wife came back yet again as Move Over, Darling (1963), with Doris Day and James Garner after an uncompleted 1962 version entitled Something's Got to Give starring Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin was aborted upon Monroe's abrupt death. • Cast • Jean Arthur as Vicky Lowndes • Fred MacMurray as Bill Cardew • Melvyn Douglas as Henry Lowndes • Harry Davenport as George, Vicky's father • Dorothy Peterson as Gertrude Houlihan, Henry's secretary • Melville Cooper as Peter, the Lowndeses' butler • Edgar Buchanan as Detective Adolph McDermott • Tom Dugan as Lieutenant Sullivan • • This document includes material from the Wikipedia article Too Many Husbands en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_Many_Husbands# • [keywords: #movie, #movies, #movieClassic #classicMovie, #motionPicture, #film, #cinema, #hollywood, #fulllengthmoviehouse]
