Rating:  - Screwball comedy
I caught this on Turner Classic Movies the other day and discovered that it was a classic screwball comedy. It's really very witty, well-constructed, and amusing. Loretta Young plays a part that might have been assigned to, say, Carol Landis. And Milland is doing something that Cary Grant made famous. Both stars handle their parts superbly. Gail Patrick, perhaps for the first and only time in her long movie career, plays an air-head other woman. Add this to your list of must-see movies, especially ... Read More
Rating:  - so so
Ray Milland and Loretta Young try their best to make this movie work. But even their effort can't hold this together. Milland plays a doctor who is mistaken to be feminist writer's new husband (Loretta Young). In order to raise both of their careers, they fake marriage.

Rating:  - Exceptional!
The well written comedies of the forties and fifties have yet to be equaled! This particular comedy is the quintessential romantic comedy of the 1940s. Loretta Young and Ray Milland match each other wit for wit and jab for jab. This film will keep you laughing constantly. An all-star cast including Reginald Gardiner (My Favorite Wife) and Edmund Gwenn (Miracle on 34th Street).
Rating: - hilarious
The Doctor Takes a Wife is fantastic! Right up there with The Farmer's Daughter, also starring Loretta Young. Not quite as sweet, maybe, but definately funnier. The one-liners are hilarious. I watched it with four other people, and we all loved it. A must-see!
Rating:  - Boring, boring, boring
I never fall asleep during movies -- but I rented this one and was fast asleep within half and hour. Even Loretta Young can't save this one.
