Susan Vega: Because, I saw him that way. I did! Because I prefer not to think of him as a man! I refuse to go about saying that there's an extremely handsome man following me. Why, if I ever heard a woman say that, I'd know what I'd think of her! You see, I know he's not there. I know its just something in my mind. But, if my mind insist that there's a very attractive man running after me; why, well, it's just comic!

Trivia
(around 38 minutes) Lorenzo plays an excerpt of "Night and Day" on his mini-accordion while out on the gazebo. See more »Goofs
(at around 1 min) Desi Arnaz comes home from work and pauses by a table and lamp to clandestinely listen to his wife and a couple invited to dinner before announcing that he is home. A few minutes later, a front shot of Desi reveals an open, wrought iron partition with a clear view of the front door and table that he was standing by, indicating his presence would have been evident from the moment he entered the house.

Saw this today and enjoyed it very much. Lucy and Desi of course are great and here seemed more like real people and less like stereotyped caricatures. Though made in the Fifties, much of the relationship philosophy here seemed sound and to still ring true today. One need only to look at I Love Lucy to see that limited options for wives were a widely accepted norm at that time, but this film tires to question and break out of that. When Susan is told that she and her husband have been traveling two separate paths for a long time, she asks something along the lines of, "Does the woman always have to follow her husband's path?" Her angel laughs and says "Of course not!" but gives good reasons why that's what she needs to do at this point. The well-intentioned but scary Fifties attitude toward the environment was uncomfortable but the marriage advice seemed good. The Long, Long Trailer may have had more laughs but this was more satisfying. And anything that ends in Yosemite is a plus.
