Jane Wyman and Ray Milland united 8 years later after the award winning "The Lost Weekend." By 1953, they made this very frothy, often silly film "Let's Do It Again."It must be remembered that Jane Wyman began her career as a song and dance lady. She sings and dances here, but after performances such as "The Yearling," and her Oscar winning "Johnny Belinda," and with the other fabulous "The Blue Veil," and "All that Heaven Allows," along with "Miracle in the Rain," and "Magnificent Obsession," to follow-she will always be remembered as a great dramatic actress.This film is inane as she and Milland play a theatrical couple divorcing after a misunderstanding. Wyman meets up with Aldo Ray, a millionaire, horrendously miscast in this film. The film is devoted to turning the tables on the divorcing couple. This remake of "The Awful Truth" is silly at best.

Based on the original, The Awful Truth, this update is so completely inferior, one has to wonder what the intent was behind remaking the comedy classic. It certainly couldn't have been to improve on it. How can you improve on perfection? And it certainly was not to present better music. Irene Dunne hit the high notes better than either Wyman or the person dubbing her voice. Plus, Wyman's just too squeaky clean looking to play the vamp. She cannot sell it! Milland is a good actor, but here cannot deliver the charm of Cary Grant.A disappointing waste of time. Do yourself a favor and get the original.

A limp musical remake of one of the great screwball comedies of all time, "The Awful Truth," this film is a inadvertent valentine to Cary Grant, Irene Dunne and Ralph Bellamy, all of whom are sorely missed. And director Alexander Hall is no Leo McCarey either.The principal actors look desperate, and flail around ineffectually. The songs are weak, but mercifully short. In order not to make Jane Wyman look bad, there are no women on screen under the age of 35. The fashions are without even historical interest, Columbia's colors are rancid, the sets are claustrophobic, the whole proceedings seem strangely depopulated and the action takes place in a vacuum.No wonder people stayed home to watch their new-fangled televisions. This is worse than "The Opposite Sex," MGM's musicalization of "The Women." Don't bother.

Recently seeing this movie for the first time I was pleased to find that it is a very pleasant,frothy technicolored entertainment.Jane Wyman,whom I remember mainly from TV,is a very capable comedienne,and a very good singer.She is obviously enjoying herself,and looks very good too,in a dazzling Jean Louis wardrobe.Ray Milland plays her ex-husband in a Cary Grant type performance,and warbles a song or two.Aldo Ray is the new beau and also shows what a versatile actor he was.All in all,an undemanding Technicolor treat that is typical of it's period.Worth catching.8/10
