A woman leaves her inventor husband, believing that it would be better for him if she were gone. She heads to Palm Beach to get a divorce, and meets kind billionaire John D. Hackensacker the III during crazy train ride there. The energy is bursting in every scene thanks to film's great, seasoned cast. Watch for early scenes with the endearing, little old "Wienie King". The film is a wonderful, joyfully hilarious romp.
Would I recommend? Yes. The quintessential screwball comedy.
