Premise
[edit]A psychoanalyst persuades a wife to leave her happy marriage.
Reception
[edit]Time Magazine wrote "The worst thing about the play isn’t that it never comes within hailing distance of satire, but that it is altogether stupefying as farce."[4]
Variety wrote "as a play its virtually nothing at all but Cummings in particular gives a talented an infectious comedy performance."[5]
The play was adapted by John Clements for a British version called The Happy Marriage.
