This is a rather dull film that primarily showcases a dysfunctional marriage. A young couple buy an apartment building in the big city and they go through all the usual headaches that go with being a landlord. The apartment problems, however,pale in comparison with the real problem...The wife,well-played by June Haver,is a nosy,noisy,never-satisfied shrew that cannot stop riding and ragging on her hubby,played by William Lundigan. Whatever hubby does is somehow wrong no matter what. The wife worries about everything but what she should,ie other people's business and other stuff best left alone. The wife's behavior is beyond ridiculous,I figured hubby would surely be rid of her,one way or another,pronto!

Marilyn Monroe plays a sweet and charming part,she is enjoyable at least.

I promise if you watch this movie you will be amazed at how miserable and neurotic the wife character is. This wife character right here is a graphic illustration of why Valium was such a huge hit when it came out over a decade later... Talk about filling a need!
