Wiki.
My Favorite Wife is a 1940 American screwball comedy film produced by Leo McCarey and directed by Garson Kanin. It stars Irene Dunne as a woman who, after being shipwrecked on a tropical island for several years and declared legally dead, returns to her [former] husband (Cary Grant) and children.
The story is an adaptation of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's 1864 poem "Enoch Arden". In tribute, the main characters' last name is Arden.
The supporting cast features Gail Patrick as the woman Arden has just married when his first wife returns, and Randolph Scott as the man with whom his wife was marooned. My Favorite Wife was RKO's second most successful film of 1940.
