THE most fun I've seen on a set in many a day is on the stage where "My Favorite Wife" is shooting. This stars Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, with Randolph Scott and Gail Patrick prominently in the cast. Irene and Cary were married, but seven years ago she went junketing off to the South Seas as the photographic expert on a scientific expedition. The expedition was shipwrecked and survivors said she was swept away. So Cary has her declared legally dead in order that he may wed Gail Patrick. No sooner does the judge perform the ceremony and they start up to Yosemite on their honeymoon than Irene turns up in the company of Randolph Scott (who was also a member of the expedition and also a survivor on a desert isle with Renee). Irene wants Cary to tell Gail he's already married and Cary wants to — but somehow he just can't screw his nerve up to that point. When all other measures fail, Irene has him arrested as a bigamist and that's where I come in (but there are many hilarious Visits to various sets to watch and chat with the stars as they make important forthcoming productions By Dick Mook Jimmy Cagney, as foreman of a banana plantation, has just fired a few shots after some fleeing bandits in this scene from "Torrid Zone." Ann Sheridan and Helen Vinson are watching Jimmy's heroics. situations between her return and his appearance in court, let me tell you). hi court, when Gail finds out he's already married she hauls off and bops him in the nose, actually drawing blood. "I won't have violence in my court!" screams Granville Bates, the judge. "Twenty-five dollars," Gail agrees, throwing some bills on his desk, "and it was worth it!" She turns to Cary. "And as far as I'm concerned, you're legally dead." She turns and. exits just as Irene Gail Patrick, Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, Randolph Scott and Granville Bates as you see them in the hilarious "My Favorite Wife." 54 Silver Screen
