Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by William WBeing a huge Claudette Colbert fan from films of her early days, I was very pleasantly surprised by this screwball comedy from my Marilyn Monroe boxed set. A middle-aged couple's divorce is to be finalized at midnight, though they still love each other, but Colbert is angry because her husband loves gambling, gardening and her, in that order. Their married daughter's family lives in the same house, and while she wants her parents to stay together, the son-in-law wants the mother to reconcile with a wealthy former suitor so they can have independence, and hilarity ensues. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.
User Review - 8/10 by Ralph RIt really seems a diservice to so many amazing actors for this to be so connected as a Marilyn Monroe thing. She's in the film for about ten minutes and makes the cover? I mean 'All About Eve' isn't part of the Marilyn Monroe collection and she essentially plays the same part in both films. Claudette Colbert and Macdonald Carey really steal this film and the bickering married couple. They both conveyed a great sense of pleasant disfuntionality.
User Review - 6/10 by Antonius BIt's the 50's: everyone is dressed up at work and at home, pitchers of dry martinis are the order of the day, and liberal use of DDT is the best bet for killing aphids on roses. You can't help but smile at some of this stuff. There's nothing terribly amazing about the script in this romantic comedy, which has a couple (Claudette Colbert and Macdonald Carey) divorcing after 20 years of marriage, and a jet-setter and old flame (Zachary Scott) swooping in on her. What's fun is the cast - Colbert is a delight and looks fantastic at age 48, her son-in-law is played by a slender 21-year-old Robert Wagner, and a blonde fortune hunter who appears in a few scenes is played by 25-year-old Marilyn Monroe, right before she became mega-famous. It's light entertainment with a cutesy ending.
User Review - 6/10 by Eric ABeginning of the end and then back together agin with this movie. One time watch you would say.
User Review - 6/10 by Greg Wa petty comedy about divorce great writers but what happened 2 their words?
User Review - 6/10 by Anna HEntertaining...that's about it! Interesting to see a movie about divorce in '51...but of course it has to end conventionally ;) Claudette Colbert's character is too strong/smart at the outset to fall for the 2nd guy, so that inconsistency bothers me.
User Review - 6/10 by Jennifer BAnother film that's been included in a Marilyn Monroe box set but she only has a small role in it. However, it's still a very enjoyable movie and the other actors keep you interested. The daughter is truly awful!
User Review - 4/10 by Patrick MThis may have been funny back in the days when divorce was kind of a taboo thing but now the humor is extremely dated and there isn't enough Marilyn Monroe to make up for its shortcomings.
