Too Many Husbands (released in the United Kingdom as My Two Husbands) is a 1940 American romantic comedy film directed by Wesley Ruggles, starring Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray and Melvyn Douglas. The plot centres on a woman who believes her husband has perished in a boating accident and remarries, only to have her first spouse reappear. The film is based on the 1919 W.
