Sports commentator meets singer/musician/decorator on a plane. Plane makes an emergency landing and they board the same ship. Both are engaged to somebody else. They vow to meet three months later.
A second remake. The film's plot is clever, but could only appear right in 1939, when the first version came out. The second version (1957, I think) already seemed stale, but had the color novelty as a justification. This third version is an altogether mad enterprise. The first section is perhaps the better part of the film and has a light comedic tone. The middle section with the aunt tries hard to "update" the material, making said aunt speak in candid terms (a "fuck" is uttered) about monogamy and its alternative. The remainder of the film does not offer anything new, and is therefore a complete bore.
