Made For Each Other:

Their happiness is somewhat marred by two people - one is John's haughty widowed mother (Lucille Watson) who lives with John and who will live with the couple in their new apartment, and the other is John's hard-of-hearing boss, Judge Doolittle (Charles Coburn). Just as the newlyweds are about to embark for Europe, John is urgently needed at the office to take on a case. The honeymoon trip will have to be cancelled, and that's when trouble begins... In this amiable dramatic comedy, James Stewart and Carole Lombard prove that they could move audiences with their dramatic prowess, as well as make them laugh with their comedic skills.
