Wake Up, Darling

This comedy concerns Polly, a pretty young thing who wants to be an actress and Polly's husband, Don, a successful advertising man with a shelf of un-produced plays to his credit. Enter Deerfield Prescot, a very young guy who has written Broadway's next musical hit or so he tells Polly and Don. He's decided that Polly is just the person to star in his show, so Polly's life, and consequently Don's, is taken over by Deerfield, who moves into their apartment to put the finishing touches to his masterpiece. Add Gloria, a beautiful, divorced chum of Polly's, an interfering, ever present maid named Juliet and Don's secretary, Martha, who's disillusioned with life and men and chaos ensues. It isn't until a Vassar girl named Penelope arrives on the scene that Deerfield is properly straightened out. He and Penelope leave in pursuit of happiness; Gloria leaves in pursuit of her next husband; and Polly and Don, alone at last, decide to concentrate on their coming baby rather than a play. All is quiet, peace reigns, when still another visitor appears to take over the household Don's mother-in-law!
