Tell It to the Judge is a 1949 American romantic comedy film directed by Norman Foster and starring Rosalind Russell as a divorcee who tries to get back her ex-husband, played by Robert Cummings.

[1] Appointed to be a federal judge, Marsha Meredith is questioned by a U.S. Senate committee, specifically about her divorce from lawyer Peter Webb.

She returns home to Palm Beach, Florida, where soon Peter shows up to depose showgirl Ginger Simmons for his defense of gangster George Ellerby.

They remarry, but her grandfather, Judge Meredith, persuades them not to publicize that fact until the Senate confirms her appointment.

In the end, after the confusion is sorted out, Marsha decides that if she has to choose, being married to Peter would make her happier than her career.

[11] Russell later said she would get the film "mixed up" with another comedy she made around this time, A Woman of Distinction co starring Ray Milland.
