Living in a Big Way is a 1947 American musical comedy film starring Gene Kelly, Marie McDonald as a couple who marry during World War II after only knowing each other a short time.

This was director Gregory La Cava's final film.

Leo Gogarty (Kelly) marries Margaud Morgan (McDonald) after a whirlwind romance just before shipping out to war.

When he returns, he is surprised to discover not only that his bride is not what she led him to believe, but also that she expects a quick divorce.

The film earned $1,137,000 in the US and Canada and $376,000 elsewhere, resulting in a loss of $1,939,000 - one of MGM's biggest disasters of 1947.
