A delightful thirties-style romantic comedy, with Hawn as a rich-bitch who falls off her boat and loses her memory only to be claimed by carpenter Russell, who misleads her into believing she is his wife and mother to his unruly kids. Meanwhile, Hawns real husband is enjoying his newfound freedom, with no intention of getting his missus back.
Russell is terrific as the childlike handyman, Soaps Katharine Helmond is superb as Hawns pampered mommy, while Hawn herself has her best role to date as the spoiled heiress who has to put up with children-from-hell, a walking washing machine and a decidedly less-than-palatial home. Funny, romantic and lovely.
