Part Time Wife es considerado el primer largometraje de Mc-
Carey en el que aparecen sus rasgos más propios. Por su temática y por
su relación con The Awful Truth (1937) puede considerarse una comedia
de rematrimonio de Hollywood. En ella pueden distinguirse dos núcleos
temáticos: el conflicto matrimonial o la amenaza del divorcio y el rematrimonio
como retorno al Paraíso Part Time Wife could be considered as the first McCarey feature
with all his traits. It may be also considered as a “Hollywood Comedy
of Remarriage” due to its subject matter and its relationship with The
Awful Truth (1937). In this film we can distinguish two thematic groups:
marital conflict or divorce menace marital and marital reconciliation, as a
return to Paradise.
