QUICKIE: Self centered illusionist makes his happy home life disappear by neglecting his wife.
PLOT: (from IMDB): Anita (Loretta Young), engaged to solid Don Barnes, is swept off her feet by magician Arturo (David Niven). Before you can say presto, she's his wife and stage assistant on a world tour that seems never to end. Anita is mildly annoyed by Arturo's constant flirtations, but his death-defying stunts give her nightmares. As for her plan to retire in a farmhouse, forget it. Finally, she's had enough and disappears for real...
SUMMARY: Ah, what a fabulous cast! The lovely Loretta Young, David Niven, Billie Burke, and Eve Arden too! The plot summary tells all, except that this is an engaging film with great actors that keep you interested in this different take on the rather predictable "neglected housewife leaves" plot.
