But both must throw aside their own (and everyone else's) expectations and limitations for them to be happy. Dunne's first comedic lead role. 94m/B VHS . Irene Dunne, Melvyn Douglas, Thomas Mitchell, Thurston Hall, Rosalind Keith, Spring Byington, Elisabeth Risdon, Margaret McWade; D: Richard Boleslawski; W: Sidney Buchman; C: Joseph Walker; M: Morris Stoloff.
