She returns from the sea and boldly reclaims her husband and children. Cary Grant's character in the film is called "Nicky Arden." A remake called Something's Got to Give starring Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin, and directed by George Cukor, was partly filmed in 1962 before being stopped due to Monroe's studio management problems and her subsequent death, but was shot and released the following year as Move Over, Darling, with Doris Day and James Garner."

I remember seeing the Doris Day & James Garner movie. Doris has been stuck on an island for 5 years with Wally Cox. James Garner thought she was dead. She gets rescued in time to interupt the honeymoon for James Garner who is marying Poly Bergen. Very funny.
