Premise

A psychoanalyst persuades a wife to leave her happy marriage.

Reception

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."

Variety wrote "as a play its virtually nothing at all but Cummings in particular gives a talented an infectious comedy performance."

The play was adapted by John Clements for a British version called The Happy Marriage.
