Thought this was called "The man Who wasn't there". Can  you help with real title? Husband developes amnesia as result of car accident while out of town on business. Bebins new life and becomes successful business man. His wife finds him, but with no memory of marriage. She becomes his secretaty and they fall in love again.

Answer
Hi Mike,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I'm pretty sure the film you've described is the classic "tearjerker" form MGM,..1942's "Random Harvest".
It starred Ronald Coleman and Greer Garson.
To read the story,go to TCM's website:  
http://www.tcm.com:80/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=2716
and click on "Read full synopsis".   You might even find a film clip there (check out the "Fun Stuff"/Videos at the top of the page.)
The film's available on both VHS and DVD at  amazon.com.

Sincerely,

Jim K.
