Rosalind Russell stands trial and defense attorney Powell has one chance to save her from the chair: find the unknown society woman who shared the womanizing victims attentions and may be his own wife (Loy).

Loy is appalled when her sister intends to wed bohemian Powell.

I Love You Again (1940)

Powell receives a blow to the head and realizes he is really a con man, who has been suffering from amnesia for nine years. He decides to continue to pose as the wealthy man, clean out his bank account and skip town, until his wife (Loy) complicates the plan.

Love Crazy (1941)

Loy joins Powell for a certifiably loony romp as a happily married couple who let a series of complications during their anniversary celebration ruin their wedded bliss. Insanity prevails as he endeavors to win her back

Wow! What great news!!!! I am SOOOO pleased!

I have seen all of those films and love them all. I am pleasantly surprised to see Double Wedding on the list as it is one of my favorites...but a lesser-known Powell/Loy film.
