...if you don't mind taking 84 minutes to tell one joke -- the husband in insanely and stupidly jealous. That's the plot. The whole plot. As the cop says when a crowd gathers, "Nothing to see here folks. Move along." I think both Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck are absolutely top-notch actors. But this film stinks. It's a total waste of 84 minutes. I kept thinking that with a cast like this, it has to get better. It didn't. It even starts out bad with the worse fake skiing I've ever seen in movie.Now I mentioned 84 minutes, but the film lasts 94 minutes. That last 10 minutes is okay, since all we really need is a happy ending. Right? You know what the most interesting part of the film was? Seeing character actor Edgar Buchanan in a subdued role. Ruth Donnelly, another great character actor, has a nice supporting role here, as well.I rarely give a rating as low as a "5", but here I considered going lower.

A pretty boring, so-called "comedy" which attempted to cash in on the huge critical and movie audience's success of The Lady Eve, but failed dismally – especially for non-Fonda and non-Stanwyck fans. The two seem to be on screen, bickering away almost continuously. Fonda plays a petulant, charmless, immature spoilt brat of a boorish bore. In all, this is a clumsy, leaden farce of interest only to rabid Fonda and/or Stanwyck fans who will enjoy the fact that the two are always very glossily and flatteringly photographed. Although he has a comparatively small role as the hotel desk clerk, Fritz Feld gives an exaggerated, way-out performance that totally misfires and strikes all the wrong notes. Harold Waldridge is almost as bad as Smithers. In all a clumsy, leaden farce.

Man this was a painful watch. This one was almost as irritating as the original Out-of-Towners.I can't say it enough, Peter Fonda can't do comedy. He is just dreadful in this. His character is so irritating and nauseating I just can't believe they let this one in theaters. As great as Barbara Stanwyck is she can't save this irritating mess. Know way in the world would a sane female/wife stay married to an over-jealous wreck like this character. I know this is suppose to be a romantic comedy but this one isn't even close to being credible.Skip this one and be grateful that you did.

BARBARA STANWYCK and HENRY FONDA give their all to this worthless little romantic comedy that gives the jealousy angle a workout, with millionaire Fonda becoming insanely jealous of his wife's contact with her male patients while he does virtually nothing for a living.It's supposed to be hilarious but more often than not it hits a sour note. Fonda is not too likable as a magnificent dope and underplays his role with his usual combination of humility and straightforwardness. His role is so absurd you wish the writers had thought of a more realistic jealousy angle for most of the movie.RUTH DONNELLY does nicely as a loyal friend, as does EDGAR BUCHANAN as the gardener who speaks words of wisdom. Too bad wisdom isn't more characteristic of the script.Despite the floundering script, Stanwyck and Fonda make the whole thing look better than it actually is. They have good chemistry together and make the most of whatever humor there is.A good word too for MELVILLE COOPER as the stuffy butler. But all of them are really wasting their time in this silly romantic comedy.
