Too Many 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. Somerset Maugham play Home and Beauty, which was itself retitled Too Many Husbands when it came to New York, and itself takes inspiration from the 1864 Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem Enoch Arden.
