Synopsis:
Judge Wilkins (Edward Arnold) knew running for state senator would be hard, but he never thought he would be competing in the race against his own son-in-law, Bill (William Holden)! But if if isn't bad enough, with rifts forming between the family members, Miriam (Mona Freeman) threatens to drive them crazy with her endless scheming!
Dear Wife was even better than the first movie, Dear Ruth, in my opinion! Miriam and Albert are fantastic characters; they just heap hilarity into the movie! Bill and Ruth are such a fun couple, and Judge Wilkins is a great father; you will all love him! Oh, and Grace just reminded me of Ziggy, a friend of Miriam's - he is hilarious; Grace and I adored him! This movie will become a new favorite for you, I guarantee it (no, it is not the money back kind of guarantee). Oh, I just love this movie, so therefore you all must watch this and come to the same conclusion!
*By the way, if you all are interested in buying the Dear Ruth Trilogy (yes, there are three, isn't it grand?), it is very rare. I've heard that according to the Berne Convention that after 50 years, a movie becomes public domain. Therefore, we bought the trilogy on eBay, from someone who was producing copies. Here is the link to his listing:

Hope you all get this movie and love it!
