''Come Live with Me'' is a 1941 film directed by Clarence Brown, starring [[Creator/JimmyStewart James Stewart]] and Hedy Lamarr.
[[TomboyishName Johnny]] Jones (Lamarr) is a refugee from "what was once UsefulNotes/{{Austria}}". Unfortunately she has overstayed her visa and is facing imminent deportation. Even more unfortunately, her boyfriend, wealthy publisher Barton Kendrick (Ian Hunter) is married.
Enter Bill Smith (Stewart), a would-be author who is apparently on the ragged edge of starvation. He is literally down to his last dime--and he then loses the dime. After a MeetCute, Johnny makes a proposition: Bill can marry her. She'll pay Bill's living expenses until he gets a book contract, and she'll get to stay in America.
Shockingly, romantic sparks fly.
Compare ''Film/HoldBackTheDawn'', another 1941 film about a CitizenshipMarriage.
