Just wanted to upload this clip for Irene Dunne's birthday today.
She is, by far, my favorite actress and I feel like she is one of the most underrated actresses of her time.
Here is a clip of her with Melvyn Douglas in the screwball comedy, "Theodora Goes Wild" (1936). This was her first comedy and once the studios discovered her amazing comedic skills they quickly put her in as many romantic comedies they could which includes "The Awful Truth" and "My Favorite Wife"
The plot of this films is that Theodora (Irene Dunne) lives in a small town but has an alter-ego. Her pen name is Caroline Adams and she has written a sexy best-seller novel and yet no one, not even her family knows that she is the author. She is afraid that it would create a scandal if they found out. While she is in New York talking with her editor she meets Michael (Melvyn Douglas) who was the illustrator for her novel. He follows her (without her permission) to her hometown of Lynnfield and won't leave her alone. She fears that he will let the cat out of the bag and in this scene she goes berry picking and then fishing in order for him to keep his mouth shut.
