The story of My Wife's the Least of It centres on Mr Baldridge, a one-time novelist married to a mad millionairess. He becomes a respected figure and, by his 61st birthday, can congratulate himself on reaching a disciplined, discreet maturity. Then an early novel of his - Dixie - is recognized as a possibility for a film ... and Mr Baldridge's hard-won philosophical calm is threatened by the endless vicissitudes and absurdities of the film industry.
