A New York couple, David and Annie Smith, have a marriage full of written
rules and regulations. One day an official calls them and explains that all
couples married between 1936 and 1939 in his office are not legally married.
Annie asks David to marry her again, but the man confides to her he is missing
his freedom and he wants to have some fun.
They start a new life, as though they had never been married, going out with
friends and meeting women and men.
At the beginning the game seems to be fun, but they soon become jealous with
each other and, at the end, they decide to be together again.

What a great comedy! Gags and funny dialogues from the beginning to the end
of the movie.
This is the funniest film directed by Hitchcock and it shows all the director's
humor.
