Three Husbands (1951)

The ensemble cast was pretty lively, and Eve Arden was fun to watch. An interesting premise: a dead gallant leaves letters to three neglectful husbands. He had befriended their wives and (spoiler) claimed they were in love with him in those posthumous missives. Chaos ensues. Some snappy dialogue made this flick sort of entertaining. Kinda mediocre as far as a comedy, but a real gem regarding women's rights and how they shouldn't have to be beholden to inattentive husbands to take care of them.
