    what could possibly be worse than having one wife and being married? that's right... having two! how the guy didn't commit suicide i don't know! one nagging bird would do my head in enough. played out in the same sense of humour as an episode of say.. be-witched, without the witc...( read more)hery (and nose twitching)... this film centres on a "dead" wife turning up after the widowee has got remarried. tbh, i wish marilyn monroe was still alive at the time to play the part. doris day is nowhere near as fit as her but... she did look interesting in the garden of eden scene.. and the nurses outfit bit.. well, goes without saying really...

    This movie should have never been made! Marilyn Monroe should have starred in this movie but she died before she could finish filming it. This movie is nothing compared to what Marilyn could of made it out to be.
