spoilers - I thought this was going to be similar to Too Many Husbands (1940), or Move over Darling (1963), but the plot is slightly different. In this story, the main character, played by Deborah Kerr, is still married to her original spouse, played by Rossano Brazzi. When the spouse returns, all they can do is bicker, rather than appreciate being together again. Count Your Blessings also has two supporting actors, thrown into the mix - in this case the son, who is too smart for his age and his own good, and the husband's uncle, who keeps butting into their business (Maurice Chevalier).
Kerr had just done some heavy hitters: King and I, Heaven Knows, Affair to Remember, and Tea and Sympathy, so I guess she was permitted to do a lightweight bit in between. Brazzo is pretty non-descript in this; he does a fine job as "the husband", but looking at his list of roles, the biggest parts he seems to have played are Emile from South Pacific and the "Contessa" films. Directed by Jean Negulesco, who has directed all kinds of films, my favorite of which is How to Marry a Millionaire. Count your Blessings is an OK film, but it just doesn't have the same playfulness that we see in both Husbands and Move Over. This story is more about the kid trying to keep the parents apart, and the constant bickering going on. Some scenes of Paris, which were probably backdrops anyway.
