Sally Field, James Caan, Jeff Bridges

This is a surprisingly winning little comedy, though hardly a hit. Extrapolated from Bruno Barreto's Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, the film stars Sally Field as a woman about to embark on her...( read more  read more... ) second marriage after her first husband, a charismatic Broadway director and choreographer (James Caan), has died. But as she plans her wedding to the likable but unexciting Jeff Bridges, Caan returns from the dead. Though only she can see him, it's a formula for disaster: She begins to doubt her plans and wonders whether she'd be happier with Caan's ghost than with Bridges's live body. Meanwhile, everyone else begins to doubt her sanity because she's talking to a dead man. Better than critics gave it credit for being, although you'll probably enjoy it more if you've never seen the original. --Marshall Fine

    MOST wonderful ol thang. I was so surprised and delighted with this movie. Two of my fave boyz (Jeff Bridges & James Caan) both in roles UNlike that of which they normally play. Everyone was great - but James Caan was most memorable here. I laughed and smiled all the way thro...( read more)ugh. Not the first of this type of ghostly tale - but one of the best of them.
