Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

One of films so predictable than, except the actors, nothing could become interesting. the problem is not exactly the story or the vision of director or the cliches but the impression to discover, more and more, not the inspired choices. Henry Fonda is far to be credible as playboy/ rich man/ jealous husband . the story is for him a huge ice field in which each step is a fall. Barbara Stanwyck has great efforts for build a convincing character. but dr. Helen Hunt is just a sort of weather vane. Roger Clark looks for the right tone for his Vandemer. but the character is like a puzzle with too many lost peaces. the virtue ? it is a perfect film for the viewer who needs a refuge against blockbusters of the new milennium, familiar actors, easy stories and who real has low expectations.

I adore Barbara Stanwyck, but this one is a real stinker folks. Fonda is whiny, histrionic, and tedious in the role of a millionaire who marries a doctor (Stanwyck), only to get immediately jealous of the demands on her time, and her male patients. Stanwyck has some nice lines ostensibly standing up for women's rights early on, but all that is thrown away as she caves in for the silliest of reasons. She is completely unbelievable as a doctor, mainly because of the script. I won't spoil it in case you actually want to watch it (don't!), but you may actually feel vomit creeping up in your throat as the story plays out, that is, unless you're hooting at the screen too hard. Ah, the poor rich white man, with wives not content to stay at home, and unable to take a job lest they displace someone less fortunate from the work force. Even if you suspend disbelief, or cut the movie some giant slack since it was made over 75 years ago, there is no chemistry between Stanwyck and Fonda, and their sudden romance is unbelievable. Even Stanwyck's make-up is bad, with her lipstick well above her lip line in most scenes. It may have been an attempt to make her lips appear fuller, but it looks sloppy and unappealing. The only thing of interest for me was at the very beginning - the scenes on the ski slopes, which, while silly, have the lithe and svelte Stanwyck in her ski pants. Skip this one, and if you're interested in a 1941 Stanwyck film, watch either 'The Lady Eve' (paired with Fonda) or 'Ball of Fire' (with Gary Cooper), both of which were excellent.

...if you don't mind taking 84 minutes to tell one joke -- the husband in insanely and stupidly jealous. That's the plot. The whole plot. As the cop says when a crowd gathers, "Nothing to see here folks. Move along." I think both Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck are absolutely top-notch actors. But this film stinks. It's a total waste of 84 minutes. I kept thinking that with a cast like this, it has to get better. It didn't. It even starts out bad with the worse fake skiing I've ever seen in movie.Now I mentioned 84 minutes, but the film lasts 94 minutes. That last 10 minutes is okay, since all we really need is a happy ending. Right? You know what the most interesting part of the film was? Seeing character actor Edgar Buchanan in a subdued role. Ruth Donnelly, another great character actor, has a nice supporting role here, as well.I rarely give a rating as low as a "5", but here I considered going lower.

Man this was a painful watch. This one was almost as irritating as the original Out-of-Towners.I can't say it enough, Peter Fonda can't do comedy. He is just dreadful in this. His character is so irritating and nauseating I just can't believe they let this one in theaters. As great as Barbara Stanwyck is she can't save this irritating mess. Know way in the world would a sane female/wife stay married to an over-jealous wreck like this character. I know this is suppose to be a romantic comedy but this one isn't even close to being credible.Skip this one and be grateful that you did.
