Trivia
When Charles Coburn is trying to play Cupid between Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer (at 43 minutes), the musical motif is the tune from "Damn the Torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead" - the song Coburn hums and sings throughout "The More the Merrier" (1943), for which he won an Oscar for playing Cupid between Jean Arthur and Joel McCrea.

Quotes
Jonathan Crandall Sr: [to Anne] It also seems that you're a big shot in your office and an nonentity at home.

Like an obligation

Together Again casts Irene Dunne as a small town Vermont mayor who took over when her husband died. There's a statue to him in the town square that lightning removed the head of. It has to be replaced and she goes to New York to commission sculptor Charles Boyer to make a new statue,

Dunne's household consists of father-in-law Charles Coburn in one of his patented foxy grandpa parts and her teen daughter Mona Freeman. Both think she ought to move on and start dating. Even the job as mayor is more of an obligation as Dunne sees it. Boyer's arrival gives Coburn some hope.

This was one very nice comedy and the performances of Charles Dingle as Dunne's rival for mayor and newspaper editor and Adele Jergens as a stripper that Dunne gets caught in a nightclub raid with in a very funny sequence.

Together Again was the third and final time Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne were teamed on screen. This one is not Love Affair, but this is a funny film.
