It is one of the first movies to show a car mobile phone being used. One of the supporting characters has one

I haven't really posted much about the plot, except for the ending.
Also, I don't see a Wikpedia article that lists all screwball comedies.

Re: SPOILERS!
Yes!
The movie is A Millionaire For Christy starring Eleanor Parker as Christy and Fred MacMurray as the millionaire.
I love this movie!

No, that's not it. In the final shot with the main character holding the sparkler, a song begins to play that continues over the closing credits. Same song as was over the opening credits.
