Maxwell Bard (Emlyn Williams) has just died and gone to heaven. When he's granted one last wish, Bard chooses to watch over the events on Earth for one day. Just before he died, Bard gave each of his three closest friends (Shepperd Strudwick, Howard Da Silva, Robert Karnes) a letter detailing the affair he carried on with each of their wives. As Bard looks on, his friends struggle to deal with the implications of the letter, though it's easier for some than others.

Audience Member The acting was fine, the story was awful. It was supposed to be a comedy but it wasn't funny. A lot of bad behavior with no consequences. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A Gay teaches three husbands how to appreciate their wives. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The production values in the movie are awful and it looks and sounds more like a 1930s movie than one from 1951, but it has a certain charm and some witty moments. Eve Arden stands out as Lucille McCabe. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Once you get past the absurd premise ("hard-partying English playboy" goes to heaven and is granted his wish of playing a practical joke on three pairs of friends he left behind), this is kind of a cute movie, and Emlyn Williams (as the playboy, in a trio of flashbacks--in fact, he's really the main character and should have had higher billing) plays a likable character for a change (even rarer, he sings, dances, and speaks French). The last vignette with Eve Arden is the best. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
