I saw it today and it was so overheated campy. Hathaway and Chastain chewed the scenery, while the actors who played their husbands portrayed their roles with realism and restraint. Quite a contrast.
Yes, the script is terrible.
Oh, it was the revenge angle, for sure! I can't imagine Sheila being genuinely in love with ANYONE. If Samantha hadn't come along, she probably would've tired of Darrin and dumped HIM.
Think of the pilot. Sheila was was off gallivanting somewhere during the time Darrin met, romanced and married Sam.
It's the visiting couple I think are so funny ("she always gets this way when she's had a few too many").
Also some nice shots of the angel upstairs.
Overlong, overwrought, overblown and the acting is very uneven. All atmosphere and nothing more.
It's HORRIBLE! So incredibly shallow, so silly at times, it looks like something out of a bad TV show, like "Falcon Crest."
Thank GOD I washed the taste of this turkey out of my system by seeing "A Complete Unknown" the following day. Great film, with great performances.
No, I don't like the movie period. But yes, the diabetes-inducing songs don't help.
Look, isn't the first one bad enough???
"You can call me Nick if you're cool, okay?" How about Cousin It instead?
Astor went into rehab for alcohol several times in her life, including 1949, just after this film was released.
Incidentally, she HATED doing "Little Women" shortly after this, and made no attempts to hide her disdain of both her co-stars and the material.
