| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyStarring Alec Guinness, this mildly entertaining British comedy was nominated for the Motion Picture Story Oscar. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeLacks something of the charm of the Ealing films -- though it's hard to pinpoint why -- it's an all-too-often-overlooked Guinness film that deserves rediscovery |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzDisappointing lighthearted one-note sexual farce about a bigamist |
| User ReviewBill TAmazingly funny farce about a captain of a ship who has two wives in two different ports, and two very different lives. He has it all under control until little things start him on his downfall. Somewhat predictable in the end, but still great to watch. As usual, Guiness and Celia Johnson steal the show |
| User ReviewBert EI watched this movie last night for whatever reason...I actually became enthralled and missed most of the Fiesta Bowl because I was watching it. I had never even heard of this movie before but thoroughly enjoyed this. It is quite sly. I don't want to post a spoiler but it comes across as very sexist until the end when Alec Guinness's character has his luck run out. Yvonne De Carlo is quite sexy and not rail thin either I might add. If any of you watch old movies and know of others like this that you would suggest I would appreciate it. |
| User ReviewCarlos Fcool movie where guinness plays a suave dude who has 2 wives. |
| User Reviewjay nCute comedy, Guinness is smooth as always, Yvonne DeCarlo besides being stunning proves herself adroit at comedy. |
