When Marriage is Pre-Rocky: 3rd Finger, Left Hand **1/2
6 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
The typical screwball comedy of the 1930s and 1940s has Myrna Loy as an editor inventing a fictitious husband so as not to jeopardize her career.

When she meets Melvyn Douglas, he discovers she is "married." When he finds out that her husband is a no show, he enters the picture as the missing husband.

Lee Bowman plays another of Ms. Loy's suitors. If he were so interested in her, why didn't they marry before and avoid this charade?

Loy is funny and when she sports a Brooklyn accent at Niagara Falls, this is comedy at its best. Yet, the movie is too predictable
