After 19 years of marriage things are starting to get dull between Valerie (Deborah Kerr), and Dan (Sinatra). Dan thinks that since he has been married for so long that he doesn't need to go above and beyond anymore. Most of the romantic gifts that he sends her have been picked out by the friend of the family, Ernie (Martin). When Dan is finally convinced tear himself away from work to go on a second honeymoon, to Mexico. However, it's nothing as they expect it to be. Instead of enjoying themselves they wind up divorced. They quickly realize their mistake and try to go remarried before they go home. However, an emergency takes him back to the states for a few days while Valerie plans a wedding. When Dan can not get back on the day of the wedding he sends Ernie to try and explain in person. Well, in all of the confusion of the moment Ernie and Valerie end up married. The question becomes who stays married to who and who lives as the bachelor for the reset of their days?
Like I said when I was younger this was "the" Frank Sinatra film that I thought of. I loved it because it was funny and cute. I still love it for those reasons. I have learned to love some of his other movies more. I think that, while this is a good movie, there are many others that he is none better for. That is was good reason.
