SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A buoyant postwar screwball comedy with a sophisticated apartment-bound setup, escalating romantic misunderstandings, and the same knack for making crowded domestic circumstances feel warm and mischievous.
02
Why this pick
Jean Arthur brings the same flustered intelligence and romantic spark to this witty, fast-moving comedy, where an unlikely houseguest arrangement creates both emotional stakes and delightful complications.
03
Why this pick
Its playful wartime-era premise, tight comic construction, and gently growing romance echo the charm of The More the Merrier while keeping the tone light, polished, and increasingly absurd.
04
Why this pick
Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray turn class friction into crisp, affectionate banter in a 1940s romantic comedy with the same polished pace and irresistible opposites-attract energy.
05
Why this pick
Charles Coburn again lends comic authority to a warm, socially observant romance, balancing workplace hijinks, generous humor, and an unhurried but deeply satisfying emotional payoff.

01 / THE STORY
Retired millionaire Benjamin Dingle (Charles Coburn) arrives in Washington, D.C. as an adviser on the housing shortage and finds that his hotel suite will not be available for two days. He sees an ad for a roommate and talks the reluctant young woman, Connie Milligan (Jean Arthur), into letting him sublet half of her apartment. Then Dingle runs into Sergeant Joe Carter (Joel McCrea), who has no place to stay while he waits to be shipped overseas. Dingle generously rents him half of his half.
