Review of Mary, Mary

Mary, Mary (1963)
5/10
Mary, Mary-No More, No More **1/2

Warning: Spoilers
To me, Barry Nelson was always a bland actor. Perhaps, this was due to the parts he received. This movie proves that my feelings towards him were correct. Dick Van Dyke would have been so much better as the editor, who divorced his Mary, and then his lawyer brings her back to discuss a tax situation.

Debbie Reynolds is good here despite her sing-song voice. The real pleasant surprise here is Michael Rennie, in a comic role, as an actor living in Nelson's building who falls for Mary.

After a while, you really wonder why the two divorced and you obviously know what the ending of this film will bring.

The scenes are lengthy ones as they're confined to his apartment during a snowstorm. Leave it to snow to bring the characters together in films.
