This week we’re taking a research-free look at two romantic comedies that combine nineteenth-century tragic poetry with Hollywood’s love of bigamy: My Favorite Wife (1940) and its remake, Move Over, Darling (1963). We discuss our love of Doris Day and ambivalence towards Irene Dunne, the confounding screen dynamic between rumoured real-life couple Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, and whom among both casts we’d invite to our respective Bigamy Squads.

On this week’s episode of What’s in the Basket, we hop on the party line for our discussion of Pillow Talk (1959). We tackle the significance of Ross Hunter, Doris Day, and Rock Hudson in mid-century popular culture, express our undying love for charismatic powerhouse Tony Randall, and bring up class warfare more times than you might expect.
