Dynamite

Wealthy Cynthia is in love with not-so-wealthy Roger, who is married to Marcia. The threesome is terribly modern about the situation, and Marcia will gladly divorce Roger if Cynthia agrees to a financial settlement. But Cynthia's wealth is in jeopardy because her trust fund will expire if she is not married by a certain date. To satisfy that condition, Cynthia arranges to marry Hagon Derk, who is condemned to die for a crime he didn't commit. But at the last minute, Derk is freed.

My take

A wickedly clever romantic comedy about money, marriage, and the chaos that ensues when a financial arrangement goes hilariously wrong. Perfect for when you want something witty and romantic with genuine heart underneath the scheming.
