That Uncertain Feeling (1941) | Directed by Ernst Lubitsch

"That Uncertain Feeling" (1941) is a romantic comedy directed by Ernst Lubitsch. The film centers on Jill Baker, played by Merle Oberon, a woman who leads a seemingly comfortable life with her successful but somewhat dull husband, Larry Baker (Melvyn Douglas). Despite their contentment, Jill becomes increasingly frustrated by the monotony of her marriage, compounded by her nervous habit of hiccuping when anxious.

Seeking help for her hiccups, Jill visits a psychoanalyst who encourages her to explore her dissatisfaction. Soon after, she meets the eccentric and temperamental pianist Alexander Sebastian (Burgess Meredith), whose bohemian lifestyle and artistic personality contrast sharply with her husband's. Drawn to Sebastian’s flamboyance, Jill begins to question her marriage, leading to a comedic exploration of love, desire, and the uncertainties that come with trying to make the right choices.

Filled with witty dialogue and Lubitsch's signature charm, the film satirizes psychoanalysis and relationships, offering a lighthearted look at the complexities of love and marital doubt.
