Mary, Mary (1963)
6/10
Enjoyable...but also rather talky and stagey.

"Mary, Mary" was a stage production before it was made into a film. And, as you watch the movie, it becomes obvious that it was a play due to the film's style, staginess and the talky manner of the script.

Barry Nelson and Debbie Reynolds star as a couple who have been divorced only a few months. And, already, Nelson's character has picked out wife #2! But when his old wife arrives, it becomes obvious that some of the old flame still flickers.

The film is mildly enjoyable but isn't better simply because of the speechifying and shrill nature of the script. It doesn't ruin it...but it does make it tough to love. Like? Sure...love....nope.
