[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 441001, member: 7"] Linda Darnell was just 15-years-old when she played wife on-screen to 25-year-old Tyrone Power in DAY-TIME WIFE (1939), which I just watched on YouTube this morning. Running just over an hour, there really isn't very much to the story. Basically, young bride Jane Norton (Darnell) suspects her husband Ken (Power) is having an affair with his secretary. In an attempt to seek her revenge, Jane goes to work as a secretary for the womanizing Bernard Dexter (Warren William) without realizing that he and her husband are business colleagues. Wikipedia lists the movie as a "screwball comedy", but I don't think it necessarily fits that description. Personally, I just found the movie mildly amusing with some decent performances, and a handful of moments that generated a chuckle. I've liked Linda Darnell for a long time, so it was interesting to see her here in what was her second movie, while Tyrone Power and Warren William are always enjoyable on-screen. Binnie Barnes plays Darnell's multi-divorced friend, a young Joan Davis plays William's other secretary, and Wendy Barrie plays Power's secretary. It was an okayish movie, a decent way to pass an hour, but there just isn't much here. You're definitely not missing anything by not seeing it.
