Move Over, Darling [53]


Ellen [Doris Day] has just been pronounced legally dead, she’s been missing for five years after being in a plane accident. Only one problem, she’s just been found alive. The same morning she gets back home, her husband re-marries and his new wife is doing everything possible to get him into bed with her.
This film is in the comedy section, but I found it hard to laugh sometimes. I mean she just wants her husband back and he wants her but it’s just really bad timing, haha. She doesn’t even know how to go about telling her daughters that she’s her mother and is alive. I was just totally feeling for her, I wanted things to fall back into place, but the odds were against us… I mean 5 years? A lot has changed.
That’s where the humor falls in, she’s trying to gain back her family and trying to understand all the changes that have happened in the world. She’s a very very charming woman with a very kind heart. You can’t help but want the best for her. But oh is she stubborn, she wants everything here and now. Can’t blame her, she’s been stranded on an island with a pervert for the past few years.
