Father Takes a Wife is a 1941 American comedy film starring Gloria Swanson and Adolphe Menjou. It lost $104,000 at the box office. Silent screen queen Gloria Swanson returned to films after a seven-year absence. Eight years later, Swanson staged another comeback in the classic Sunset Boulevard (1950).
Senior (Adolphe Menjou) is as a middle-aged widowed shipping magnate, who falls in love with celebrated actress Leslie Collier (Gloria Swanson) and marries her after a whirlwind courtship.
