Jerry et Lucy se disputent sans arrêt et décident de divorcer. Lucy se lie à un homme d’affaires, Jerry avec une jeune héritière. Mais chacun fait de son mieux pour que les plans de l’autre échouent…
« One of the funniest of the screwball comedies, and also one of the most serious at heart. The awful truth is that the protagonists need each other, and McCarey, with his profound faith in monogamy, leads them gradually and hilariously to that crucial discovery. The issues deepen in a subtle, natural way: the film begins as a trifle and ends as something beautiful and affirmative. A classic. » (Chicago Reader)
