Some reviewers note that any couple thinking divorce should see this film and while that is good advice, the truth is few husbands about to leave are as conflicted as this one who really never wants to go and whose affection is demonstrated by the jealousy that is the last straw. I agree with those who say Judy is a charmer. That is a fact with which no one should even quibble. By the way, the accent was exaggerated here and elsewhere and could easily have been tamed had it not been in keeping with her roles. Aldo on the other hand is a revelation. He is natural, impressive and very believable. More's the pity that his career was so uneven but here he happens to be perfect. He is blond (not unusual in Hollywood's past, think Steve McQueen) but rare now for a macho star. It turns out that his look is perfect for this part and his manliness comes through just fine. In this role this reviewer thinks he was perfect and the facial expression when buying the whirly-gig is proof that had his career and persona been better managed he would have been a far bigger star. That said, watch, enjoy and remember how much love can survive and endure when people understood that divorce was the cowardly way out and usually bad for all concerned. Again, highly recommended.
