Review of Let's Make It Legal (1951) by William W — 09 Oct 2014

Being a huge Claudette Colbert fan from films of her early days, I was very pleasantly surprised by this screwball comedy from my Marilyn Monroe boxed set. A middle-aged couple's divorce is to be finalized at midnight, though they still love each other, but Colbert is angry because her husband loves gambling, gardening and her, in that order.

Their married daughter's family lives in the same house, and while she wants her parents to stay together, the son-in-law wants the mother to reconcile with a wealthy former suitor so they can have independence, and hilarity ensues.

Highly recommended for fans of the genre.
