It tells the story of a successful fashion designer, beset at home by his shrewish wife and at work by his competitors, whose life becomes even more complicated when one of his customers, a bride-to-be, jilts her wealthy husband and comes to him looking for a job—and possibly romance.

It was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Art Direction (Alexander Toluboff), and Best Original Song (Sammy Fain (music) and Lew Brown (lyrics)) for the song That Old Feeling[2][3] sung by Virginia Verrill.[4]
