The Awful Truth, Twentieth Century, Holiday, His Girl Friday and The More the Merrier are prime examples of what would become a hallmark for Columbia Screwball Comedies. With superb production values, top directors (Capra, Hawks, Cukor, Stevens) and major stars, these classic films are some of the best known screwballs. For the second volume of Columbia's Screw Ball Comedies form the '30s and '40s, we return to the vaults to rediscover more classics of the beloved genre featuring two of its most glamorous leading ladies. The Legendary Irene Dunne plays a small-town author whose racy bestsellers, written under a pseudonym, bring her notoriety when a New Yorker (Melvyn Douglas) discovers her secret, in THEODORA GOES WILD. In TOGETHER AGAIN, Dunne plays the mayor's widow who falls for a sculptor (Charles Boyer) .com The vaults of Columbia Pictures provide four screwball titles from the silly era, a package evenly split between two sylphlike stars, Irene Dunne and Loretta Young. Dunne gloriously shines in Theodora Goes Wild, a 1936 classic that changed her image from a serious actress to a skilled comedian. She plays Theodora, the author of a slightly racy novel--but she keeps her authorship secret for fear of scandalizing her neighbors, whose small town is the subject of the book. Enter smoothie Melvyn Douglas and a serving of cocktails, and Theodora's staid personality loosens up. Richard Boleslawki's spritzy film depends on Dunne's delightful touch with line readings, a touch that would blossom so memorably in The Awful Truth a year later. Alas, Together Again (1944) is a much less successful vehicle for the actress, reunited here with her Love Affair costar Charles Boyer. Dunne's a small-town mayor, Boyer's a sculptor, the screwball situations are busy--but the whole thing comes across like day-old champagne. The Doctor Takes a Wife (1940) is a likable outing: Loretta Young is a bestselling author of an advice book for unmarried ladies--which makes it difficult to explain her sudden marriage to a physician (Ray Milland) she just met. The explanation is one of those screwball contrivances--it'll spare a scandal, for starters--required for the plot to work. And, largely because of the deft playing of Young and Milland, it does work. The 1942 A Night to Remember sounds like more fun than it is: Young and hubby Brian Aherne arrive at their new Greenwich Village apartment only to learn the place comes furnished… with a corpse. Alas, the body isn't the only stiff in sight: the comic sleuthing is surely meant to evoke the Thin Man series, but despite Aherne's breezy approach, the movie clumps badly. In this company, Theodora reigns head and shoulders above the rest. --Robert Horton ## Images ![Icons of Screwball Comedy, Vol. 2 (Theodora Goes Wild / Together Again / A Night to Remember / The Doctor Takes a Wife) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5104nLCk22L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have enjoyed all 4 of the movies on this disc *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2015* I have enjoyed all 4 of the movies on this disc. They are all good: Theodora Goes Wild, A Night To Remember, Together Again, The Doctor Takes A Wife. The reason I bought this was for "Theodora Goes Wild." It is by far the best of the four mainly because of the chemistry between Irene Dunne and Melvyn Douglas. This was Dunne's first comedy and she just shines in it. Also I like it because Melvyn Douglas is so young in it. When I was growing up Douglas was already playing older parts. I never considered him a "Matinee Idol" until I saw this movie. He is great in this. The other movies are your standard romantic comedies but the quality of the stars is above average. This was very reasonably priced. I consider it a very good buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and fast *by D***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2012* Icons of Screwball Comedy - Volume 2 - Irene Dunne/Loretta YoungDocumentation1/2 Theodora Goes Wild bv Richard Boleslawski (1936, 94')Writers: Sidney Buchman (screenplay), Mary McCarthyCast: Irene Dunne, Melvyn Douglas and Thomas MitchellThe author of a scandalously racy best-selling book tries to hide her celebrityfrom her provincial small town neighbors who'd be scandalized if they knew.Ratings: 7.3/10 from 912 users - Reviews: 25 user | 19 critic2/2 Together Again by Charles Vidor (1944, 93')Writers: Virginia Van Upp & F.

It first gained prominence in 1934 with It Happened One Night, which is often cited as being the first true screwball. Although many film scholars would agree that its classic period had effectively ended by 1942, elements of the genre have persisted, or have been paid homage, in contemporary film.145us Icons of Screwball Comedy - Volume 2 - 4/9/2012 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crazy but Funny *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2011* My favourite of the four films is `Together Again` which stars Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer. She is the small town mayor who goes to New York to see him, a sculptor. She wishes to have a statue made of her late husband. He manages to inveigle her into having dinner with him. She finds him more and more attractive as he manages to keep her completely off balance. Quite different from her normal business self.After the evening`s adventures she flees back to her home town. She explains to the statue committee that he wasn`t suitable for the job. As they leave, she is horrified to find him walking up the path to her front door. He has arrived to do the job, complete with all the necessary tools and equipment.From there, a whole lot of complications arise until finally, everything is sorted out.I found it a very funny film. It made me laugh out loud. The two stars are so charismatic and seem to be enjoying the change of pace from their previous appearances together.For sheer enjoyment I think it is worth its five stars.The other films are also funny but to my mind this is the best. --- ## 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.vn/products/13222907-icons-of-screwball-comedy-vol-2-theodora-goes-wild-together](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/13222907-icons-of-screwball-comedy-vol-2-theodora-goes-wild-together) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
