Review of 'Til We Meet Again

The story is so contrived it's impossible to take even remotely seriously. Merle Oberon looks pretty and isn't really either good or bad. George Brent, though, is really hard to accept as a convicted murderer. Whom did he murder. Why? Why are we supposed to think a murderer an appropriate romantic dream partner for a sick young woman? I think this is the movie Carol Burnett parodied. In this parody -- one of her funniest -- Vicki Lawrence, playing a doctor, tells the sick girl, "No more vatnot." Pat O'Brien is very touching, on the other hand, as the police officer in charge of Brent on shipboard (which is where most of the movie takes place.) He is tough but he understands about love. Binnie Barnes is as always a delight in a small role, too. That woman was a treasure! Geraldine Firtzgerald is in it. I like her and she is OK in the movie. But her character sort of wanders around. Maybe some scenes were cut: It's never clear what her exact role in the story is.
