The Gay Divorcee
The King and Queen of 'Carioca'
Directed by Mark Sandrich
Produced by RKO Radio Pictures
A light, effervescent musical comedy built on mistaken identity and romantic misunderstanding, where song, dance, and charm carry the day.
Seeking a divorce from her absentee husband, Mimi Glossop travels to an English seaside resort. There she falls in love with dancer Guy Holden, whom she later mistakes for the corespondent her lawyer hired.
