The story concentrates of neglectful husband Jim Murdock (Edmund Lowe) and his frustrated wife Betty (Leila Hyams). For lack of anything else to do, Betty takes up golf, soon achieving professional status. Meanwhile, Jim’s doctor advises him to start playing golf as an outlet for his frustrations. Sure enough, Jim and Betty are reteamed on the links, and all is well – for everyone except Betty’s erstwhile beau Tommy Milligan (Tom Clifford). (Letterboxd)

Viewed February 10, 2022. This has a great interplay between its leads, some strong Laurel and Hardy-esque slapstick, some inspired visual gags. The McCarey touch is most evident in the shameless sentimentality that rounds out the story. To wit, there's a surprisingly grisly sequence in the film that involves the aforementioned dog being sent into a gas chamber, a shocking moment that McCarey plays for pathos and a bit of spiritual reassurance similar to Love Affair.
