Garson Kanin’s 1940 film My Favorite Wife wasn’t the best of the Hollywood comedies from that glorious period, but it has some story elements that would be edgy even today. The title is misleading. It’s the woman who abandons her husband and children to take up with a gorgeous man, and neither she nor the movie sees the need to apologize for that. The movie screens as part of the TCU Film Series at 7pm at Moudy Bldg, 2805 S University Dr, FW. Admission is free. Call 817-257-7630.
