It was directed by George Cukor and had three screenwriters.It stars magazine editor Larry Blake (Douglas), who is on vacation at a ski resort in Idaho. He shows no interest in the sport until he spots the beautiful ski instructor Karin (Garbo) and asks her for private lessons. They slowly start to get along and after being snowed in together, Larry's panicked secretary Miss Ellis (Ruth Gordon) and friend Mr. Miller (Roland Young) discover that Larry is fine and married to his skiing teacher.The newlyweds appear to be an idyllic romantic couple but cracks start to show immediately when Larry is wanted back in New York. They bicker through the night and into the next morning with Karin accusing Larry of being two-faced.

Shout-Out | |
Two-Faced Woman / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Larry tells Katherine to look up "alone" in the dictionary. This is a reference to numerous Greta Garbo films in which her characters reference being alone or "wanting to be alone." | |

Can't Hold Her Liquor: Karin is not used to champagne and uses this to try and scare Larry away from women like Katherine. Unfortunately, he still wants to see Katherine again and Karin has the worst hangover, to the point of wearing a bandage around her head like she had mumps. | |
