I Love You Again is a romantic comedy from 1940, starring the iconic duo William Powell and Myrna Loy. The movie tells the story of Larry Wilson, a mild-mannered businessman who finds out that he has been living a lie since he lost his memory eight years ago. In that time, Larry has been living as a con man named George Carey, leading a life of adventure and illicit activities. However, when he has an accident and regains his memory, Larry discovers that he is actually a respectable and responsible citizen with a wife, a home, and a successful career.

The movie starts with the arrival of the SS Southern Queen in a small town in New Jersey. Larry Wilson is a passenger on the ship, along with his wife Kay (played by Myrna Loy), who is a society woman from New York. As the couple gets off the boat, Kay realizes how boring and predictable their life has become, and she decides to leave Larry and go back to the city. However, on the same night, Larry has a concussion while trying to stop a robbery, and he wakes up with a complete loss of memory.

As Larry recovers in the hospital, he meets Duke Sheldon (played by Frank McHugh), a con man who sees an opportunity to make money by using Larry's amnesia. Duke tells Larry that he is George Carey, a notorious crook who owes a lot of money to some dangerous people. Larry, not knowing any better, believes Duke's story and starts living as George.

The movie then takes us through Larry's adventures as George, as he meets old acquaintances, pulls off daring heists, and falls in love with a woman named Blondie (played by Gail Patrick). However, Larry's true identity is revealed when he meets Kay again in a hotel lobby, and she recognizes him as her husband. Larry, still convinced that he is George, tries to deny her accusations, but ends up confessing the truth when he realizes how much he loves Kay.

From this point on, the movie becomes a race against time, as Larry tries to make amends for his past mistakes and win back Kay's love. However, things get complicated when the dangerous people that Duke mentioned show up, threatening to kill Larry if he doesn't pay them their money. The climax of the movie takes place on a yacht, where Larry and Kay are held hostage by the villains, and Larry finally reveals his plan to outsmart them.

Overall, I Love You Again is a lighthearted and charming movie that showcases the chemistry between William Powell and Myrna Loy, who are arguably one of the most iconic couples in Hollywood history. The movie is full of witty dialogue, slapstick humor, and clever plot twists, making it a delightful watch for fans of classic cinema. Moreover, the movie's themes of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances are still relevant today, making it a timeless tale of love and adventure.

I Love You Again is a 1940 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 39 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.4.
