I've heard (or read) nothing but bad comments on this movie @ IMDb. But what no one seems to be watching is the acting. The acting & the storyline are so wonderful! Comparisons of the older Mrs. Fielding's divorce request to the younger is so touching & ironic. There are comic moments on the ship between Crawford & Gable. This isn't an epic action type of movie. But it is a very satisfying escape from everyday life. Isn't that what movies are for? Especially the classic's? I challenge any true classic movie lover that if they don't find this movie "satisfying", then they aren't true classic movie lovers. This movie had a twist that I haven't seen in movies in several years. Can someone tell me of a movie with this same type of love triangle? One that shows the wonderful irony also? And the kindness of Mr. Fielding? And the easy lilting voices of that age? These movies didn't need instant gratification to solve problems. Classic's like these are like a comfortable raft on the lake on a great sunny day. They don't need BIG epic action to make you feel good. They just do it with the acting and a good screenplay.
