Lend Me Your Wife

1958 · 83 min

A breezy, good-natured office farce full of mistaken identities and gentle romantic mischief, easy to sink into and pleasant to watch.

Overview
This is a light comedy from Edith Carlmar, Norways first woman director. It takes place in a company that sells baby toys. It is time to fill a leading position, and it is known the owner of the company only places married men on leading positions. This leads a young bachelor to "borrow" his best friends wife to have a chance at the position. This leads to a lot of comic misunderstandings, not the least because the owner of the company himself falls for the new young wife.
