stuffy best selling author Anthony Amberton~(Henry Fonda) meets equally spoiled Prima Donna Actress Cherry Chester (Margaret Sullavan) meet and battle their way through courtship~ why they HATE every single thing about each other~
soon they are Married~ LOL ....the bickering couple begin their Wedding Night with the perfume the bride is wearing ....the groom is allergic too~HE is sicker than a dog~ very funny~ so the bride takes off for home~
the trouble being neither of them knows each others REAL name~
Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan were married and divored in "real life" when they made this movie~ they are excellent~ the fights are funny~ and the HISSY fits Sullivan throws makes US want to reach out and slap her for HIM~ a funny cute ending~
I GIVE THIS A 9 OUT OF 10 FOR CLASSIC BICKERING BRIDE AND GROOM FUN~

This is one of the great unsung screwball comedies, why it isn't more famous is a complete mystery to me. It is complete bliss from beginning to end, funny, sweet, and it has Margaret Sullavan.
Someone should put it out on DVD, and send a note to everyone on planet Earth that it has returned to life.

When the Hays Code began to make sure films were 100% morally correct, the genre of Screwball comedy was born. it was all about going around the censors. It involved romance at a fast pace and the jokes were all clean-or should I say ALMOST all clean. In screwball comedy, you ocassionally find little jokes that went over the head of the straight thinking censors, which, thus, were able to remain on the screen.
In no screwball comedy is that more truthful than in The Moon's Our Home. Margaret Sullivan plays Cherry Chester (her name is one vulgar joke which slipped by the censors). She is a Hollywood actress who one day bumps into Anthony Amberton, a writer whose books she hates. He ,on the other hand, hates the typical Hollywood actress. The only thing is that when they bump into each other, they are using their real names, not "the name by which most people know" them, so they don't realize they hate each other and fall in love.
It is not until after they are married ... Read More

When you fall in love with a genre the way I did with screwball comedy, you wade through a lot of duff second rate slapstick films with lines that feel so contrived and 'written' that you forget to laugh.
But this is a joy from beginning to end. You laugh hysterically at the interplay between the former husband and wife team of sullavan and fonda. It is for me up there with 'Bringing Up Baby', one of my favourite films of all time.
Buy/rent/see this film.

An incredibly fun picture to watch, it's even more fascinating for the fact that Sullavan and Fonda made this picture right after they divorced each other in real life! In this bright romp, Maggie's a movie star and Hank's a writer of high adventure; both use pseudonyms for their respective careers and they meet using their real names and marry not knowing that the other is famous! On their honeymoon, Sullavan wears perfume to which Hank is highly allergic and thus you get the gist of this merry screwball flick. Beulah Bondi scores as Fonda's secretary and the always fun hatchet-faced Hamilton is Mitty in the roominghouse scene.
