About The Moon's Our Home
A writer and an actress meet and marry without really knowing each other--they are even unaware that both bride and groom are equally famous. During the honeymoon, all hell breaks loose as a comedic war of the sexes leads inevitably to love.
Directed by William A. Seiter, The Moon's Our Home leans on a strong ensemble — Margaret Sullavan, Henry Fonda, Charles Butterworth — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1936.
