Part-Time Wife

  • 1961 film

A footloose bachelor will only inherit his uncle's firm when he's a respectably married man. His solution: borrow his friend's wife.

Part-Time Wife

A breezy comedy from the Danziger brothers, Part Time Wife was released in 1961 and features very early film roles for Anton Rodgers, Nyree Dawn Porter and Kenneth Warren; it is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

Insurance salesman Tom and his wife Jenny are struggling through the first years of marriage in a modest flat, on Tom's even more modest salary. By contrast Drew, Tom's old army pal, is a footloose bachelor currently running a car-hire firm owned by his rich uncle, who lives in Canada. Since Drew's uncle makes it clear that his nephew will only inherit the business when he's a respectable married man, his upcoming visit throws Drew into a panic. Having taken a fancy to the vivacious Jenny, Drew persuades her to masquerade as his wife - an arrangement that leads the trio into some highly complicated situations!
