Football star Pete Wilson (Victor Mature) has his loving socialite wife Liza Wilson (Lizabeth Scott). Everything is easy. He gets some bad medical news that threatens to end it all. Anne (Lucille Ball) is the team secretary.
Boy! I was slow on uptake. I missed all the clues until the insurance rejection. I keep missing stuff in this movie. I missed the love connection until she admits to it. The movie keeps throwing the ball and I keep dropping it. I'm not sure if it's all my fault or if the movie is not doing it right. As for his medical issue, it doesn't generate the right kind of tension. He looks perfectly fine. The issue is basically a random bomb that could explode at any time. It doesn't raise the tension. If the audience can see his deterioration, it becomes more like a ticking time bomb and it could raise the tension as normal. I get the premise, but it's not getting me.
