Dream Wife

Sydney Sheldon wrote and directed this delightful comic romp that stars Cary Grant as businessman Clemson Reade, a male chauvinist who wants girlfriend Effie (Deborah Kerr) to give up her government job to be a stay-at-home wife. When she refuses and travels to the Middle East to deal with an oil crisis, the spurned Clemson proposes to an Arab princess who's devoted her life to making men happy. But the fun really starts after Effie takes the sheltered royal under her wing and gives her a lesson in female equality. With Betta St. John. 100 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
