Movie Info

In this film, Irene Dunne plays a prim small town schoolteacher, raised in an oppressive environment by two maiden aunts. Seeking surreptitious adventure, Dunne writes a steamy romance novel in her spare time -- which becomes a scandalous best-seller.

Critic Reviews for Theodora Goes Wild

All Critics (2)

Theodora goes silly rather than wild in this outdated look at how they made comedies back then.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Great screwball comedy about the transformation of a plain and repressed girl (splendidly played by Irene Dunne) into an eccentric and loving woman.

Audience Reviews for Theodora Goes Wild

A cute film about the impact of the writing of racy novel on a small town and the town's reaction to the surprising author. Little more than cute though.
