Determined to impress his old-fashioned sentimental boss, a quick-thinking unmarried foreign correspondent (Ameche) talks his best friend's bride (Colbert) to pose as his wife. When the hoax gets hopelessly out of hand, he nearly ruins the couple's honeymoon and their marriage. The Guest Wife is practically a hidden treasure from Hollywood's heyday of screwball comedies with two legendary stars and a great supporting cast of Charles Dingle, Grant Mitchell, Chester Clute and Richard Foran as Colbert's husband and Ameche's best friend. Beautifully shot in glorious black-and-white by Joseph A. Valentine (Shadow of a Doubt). ## Images ![Guest Wife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hFl7dFCxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ ok Colbert but not her best *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015* Conservative small town Ohio husband and wife are off to NYC when a prankster/rabble-rouser friend of the husband's shows up. From there on the plot is set--the guy has lied to those in his life in NYC about being married to his friend's wife. The movie really didn't do it for me. As I have said I love Colbert. And two her films are my top favorites. But this isn't one of them. I do find it interesting (again) in comparing American society back then to today. I mean you have the hotel investigator lecturing a guy suspected of "immoral behavior" on the Ten Commandments. Today people are suing each other over the presence of the Ten Commandments in court houses and personal prayer in schools. You have a banker secretly adhering to an audit at night before word gets out one of his employees is under suspicion on "moral charges" as people would "lose confidence in the bank and pull their money out" back then. Today bankers are lying/cheating and never go to prison let alone cause banks to fold. But this movie took place long before the foreign invasion of Jews after WWII and the rest of the world thereafter. Oh well. Nice experiment America was I say. Anyway other than this tidbit time capsule of early American culture this movie was a little boring to me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value *by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2022* Like the movie,. Good price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Movie! *by K***0 on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2014* Hilarious. I really enjoy a good screwball comedy, and this was a great one! I collect screwball comedies and was so glad to add this one to my collection. Even though my husband and I are from a much younger generation, these were the movies that were genuinely funny with wonderful actors! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/21331850-guest-wife](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/21331850-guest-wife) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
