Movie title
I had one heck of a time finding this movie on IMDB. TCM is showing it tonight but the name is "Don't Trust Your Husband". Why on earth did someone change the name of the film?
shareApparently this film was re-released under two additional titles - "Don't Trust Your Husband" and "Under Suspicion". IMDb also has a re-release date of October 1, 1954 - don't know which title that would be.
TCM must have shown a re-released, re-titled print. It ran about 86 minutes, while IMDb indicates the original runs 90 minutes.
Quite tricky for studios to have done this to people back in the day. Imagine going to the movies in 1954 thinking you're going to see a new Fred MacMurray flick and it's the same one you saw years earlier!
FWIW, when I have trouble finding a film searching IMDb, I'll switch to Bing or Google and search the title including the year and they'll usually bring it up under its original title in the top of the results.

Imagine going to the movies in 1954 thinking you're going to see a new Fred MacMurray flick and it's the same one you saw years earlier!I imagine the title was changed because 'An innocent affair' sounds a lot more risque than 'Don't trust your husband'. Some people would probably avoid seeing a movie about cheating. It's a comedy but a whole other group might not want to flock to theaters with their kids in tow. In those days movies were made to attract a wide audience. If the title tended to exclude some people it wouldn't make for a huge success.
Fred MacMurray was a big enough star and the movie is good so they probably gave it another chance with a new title; perhaps even a few edits to attract those who may have passed it up before. Who knows. There may not be that big a difference but the two titles do not conjure up the same kind of movie for me; and neither really fits the movie I actually saw.
