Audience Member The funniest movie with Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review panayiota k Watchable with cute moments but it could be funnier, especially with a fantastic element (the angel) in the plot. It's always nice to see Lucille with Desi though Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member the third act is hilarious Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful.....nauseating ....stupid Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I quite enjoyed this film of a marriage losing its shine over the years and becoming in danger of breaking up, only to be saved by the guardian angel James Mason. Many scenes, especially the camping ones, remain quite funny today.
