Query for the evening:
Whether in 1963 Doris Day had age spots, or freckles.
So, I'm watching Move Over, Darling, and I'm feeling very conflicted.
Okay, essentially, the synopsis is that a woman (Doris Day), who's been thought to have been dead for 5 years, returns only to find out that her husband has remarried... the day of her arrival. So, she decides to go to the hotel where he's having his honeymoon to confront him and assume her rightful position as his wife, which results in raging conflict in telling the new wife and later finds out that Doris Day was stranded on the mystery island with another man, and inevitable jealousy insues.
Now, okay... so, Doris Day has ben 'legally' dead for 5 years. And her husdband remarries obviously assuming that his wife is dead.
You can't blame the guy for remarrying after 5 flippin' years. But understandably she'd be jealous of this new woman.
So, you can't really blame either at this point...
But as the movie goes on, the husband just can't seem to tell his new wife that his original wife is alive, and starts pulling all these hairbrain schemes so he can avoid telling her, all the while Doris Day is doing the whole, annoyingly emotional thing.
So anyways, later on, the husband finds out that she was actually stranded on an island with a man. And hunky man. And of course, in true 1960's fashion, the man becomes a total shit head about his wife being alone on an island with a dude assuming the worst, while the wife swears nothing ever happened.
Turns out the hunky-sack-o'-man-love was actually a shit head himself, and she spent the whole 5 years doing her darndest to stay respectable.
So, the whole affair get's sent to court when the man get's charged with bigamy and everyone even remotely responsible in this case turns up.
The wife whines and whimpers and shouts and results to violence throughout the entire court proceeding, while her husband leaves in a fury.
The movie ends with Doris Day returning to her home, where the mother of the husband tells her the husband never came home, and to go into the backyard and finally tell her children that she's their long lost mother.
She heads out there, her children jump out of the pool with a 'hi mommy!'...*tear-jerker moment*
And then her husband jumps out of the pool asking for a kiss.
All one big happy fucking family.
And I sobbed like a little girl.
The end.
