Wiki.
Theodora Goes Wild is a 1936 American screwball comedy film that tells the story of the residents in a small town who are incensed by a risqué novel, unaware that the book was written under a pseudonym by a member of the town's leading family. It stars Irene Dunne and Melvyn Douglas and was directed by Richard Boleslawski. The film was written by Mary McCarthy and Sidney Buchman. Dunne was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actress in a Leading Role and the movie was also nominated for the Best Film Editing.
Before this film, Dunne had been cast in dramatic films. Theodora Goes Wild was her first comedy, and this extremely popular film proved to be the beginning of a new phase in her film career as a screen comedienne.
