Charlotte Banning: Kay, that ratty old chair? Don't be silly. Why would you want to keep THAT chair?
Kay Villano: DON'T TOUCH THAT CHAIR. My fiancé... was born in it.
Charlotte Banning: Rupert was born in a chair?
Kay Villano: Yes, it's the most lovely story. His mother was just sitting there, knitting, listening to the radio - and out popped my fiancé.
Jolly Villano: Darling, only you can see me. They can't see me.

Trivia
The original movie, Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, and its source novel were set in Brazil, South America but this American remake set the film in the USA. The scriptwriter Charlie Peters later wrote Blame It on Rio which did take place in Brazil and captured Dona Flor's "boudoir farce" elements which had been cut back dramatically in this Hollywood remake.

In the dinner scene with Kay, Charlotte, Rupert and Rev. Hollis, Charlotte begins the dinner conversation by saying that Jolly turned her into a vegetarian. She quoted Jolly as saying that he would "never eat anything that had a face." Later, when Kay, Rupert and Jolly go to a diner for lunch, Jolly orders a cheeseburger. See more »Quotes

This comedy gives the meaning to move on with your life. Oscar winner Sally Field plays a widow who moves back into the house that she and her late husband(James Caan) lived in. She has a fiancé that Jolly doesn't like, and she is the only one that sees him. Everywhere she goes, Jolly follows. Jeff Bridges plays the fiancé who thinks Kay is a total nut case. He himself isn't quite all there. He sees quite a few things that will make Kay question his sanity. There were quite a few scenes that are total classic. Like where the electricity when haywire and the guy fixing it get locked in. Or when the dog started to act funny, and the fiancé just wanted to go all the way nuts. Then there's the part where the priest left his empty booze bottle and the fiancé slips on it. The cast of the movie are great, including celebrity chef Alan Haufrect. Not many people remember this movie, but I do remember the preview and premiere. You would have a ghost of a chance to miss this classic! 3 out of 5 stars!
