You Gotta Stay Happy (1948)

Synopsis: When a temperamental young heiress named Dee Dee Dillwood (Joan Fontaine) is forced to marry her sixth fiancé, she can't seem to get herself to spend the wedding night with him. She quickly flees... When a temperamental young heiress named Dee Dee Dillwood (Joan Fontaine) is forced to marry her sixth fiancé, she can't seem to get herself to spend the wedding night with him. She quickly flees and takes cover in the nearby hotel room of a commercial pilot, with financial woes, named Marvin Payne (Jimmy Stewart). It isn't long before she proceeds to charm him into taking her to California on his next flight. Once on board, she must vie for his attention amongst a chimpanzee, a freshly filled coffin, an errant embezzler, and two lip-locked honeymooners. By the end of the journey, the two have worked their way into each other's hearts. Jimmy Stewart is perfectly earnest and Joan Fontaine is perfectly insincere. The result is a classic screwball confection, served up shamelessly fast and light by director H.C.Potter. [More]
