Father Takes a Wife
Released October 3, 1941
Cast: Gloria Swanson, Adolphe Menjou, John Howard, Desi Arnaz, Florence Rice, Helen Broderick
Director: Jack Hively
Plot: A newly married couple start arguing on their honeymoon and a stowaway Latin American singer helps them to clear up their differences.
Swanson was just thrilled to be offered a film after a seven year absence even though the script was very light fare. The film was heavily promoted as a Swanson comeback but it did poorly at the box office.
Swanson's next attempt at a comeback would be a different story however.
