With a great cast working just as hard
Tyrone ,Power is legend. With a great cast working just as hard. He was good as the "hurt son" of a embezzaler. Liked the money. But couldn't understand until he had no money and had to work. His faather went to prison And started over in the boiler droom. His son got mixed up with the wrong crowd. Ending good not gonna spoil it by telling it. Good movie. If you like the golden era of good movies where actors and actresses could really act.

Romantic comedy at its best --an undiscovered gem!
If you have ever dreamed of stumbling onto an undiscovered gem of romantic comedy, Day-Time Wife is your film. As the neglected young wife turned secretary, Linda Darnell (then only 15 years old) delivers one of the most memorable film performances of the 1930s. Tyrone Power (the wayward husband) and Warren William (the lecherous boss) provide sparkling performances as well. This movie is as intoxicating as vintage champagne! In 1939 the director of Day Time Wife also directed Intermezzo (Ingrid Bergman's first Hollywood film).Johnny Apollo is an interesting film but one that is not quite so unexpected.

Great movies, quality product
I watch "Day-Time Wife" when I was a kid and loved it. I haven't been able to find it anywhere until now. This DVD is hilarious, perfect for a good laugh. The quality of the recording and DVD is good. I recommend the product to any female especially!

Great Story
I f you dig black and white, and characters that seem real, tough guys, broads that melt in their arms but have MOXIE, settle back and enjoy this classic. Saw it on TMC, and bought it.
