Cecil Parker and his wife, Phyllis Calvert, bring financier Cary Grant to meet Miss Calvert's sister, actress Ingrid Bergman. They fall in love instantly. Before doing anything about it, Grant explains that he is married and cannot get a divorce. Miss Bergman doesn't care, and they begin a passionate affair. There is only one flaw to their relationship: Grant is not married.
It's a lovely, mature, romantic comedy, with both stars at the peak of their thespic powers. The best scene is the one in which they are in an elevator, simply looking at each other. Everything else, the witty lines, the inevitable contretemps when Miss Bergman discovers the truth, even the delightful scene where the cast dances the Highland Fling, pale.
The one slight flaw is Miss Calvert's casting. It's impossible to beleve that she and Miss Bergman are sisters whenever they speak.
