Wife, Husband And Friend: Review

starstarstarstar
Venal vocal coach Romero persuades housewife Young that her singing ability, contrary to all the evidence, is such that she should pursue a career as a vocalist. Businessman Baxter, Young's husband, is dismayed by his wife's pretensions, but goes along with her plans. Young's theatrical debut is a debacle, but unknown to her, Baxter--encouraged by his opera-singing girl friend Barnes--has secretly taken singing lessons. Baxter scores small successes at private concerts and is importuned by Barnes to appear with her in a grand opera performance. When Baxter's ineptitude turns the opera into slapstick, he and Young come to their senses and decide to duet only for amusement. Baxter, Barnes, and Young perform beautifully under Ratoff's finely timed direction. Associate producer Johnson remade the story in 1949 as EVERYBODY DOES IT. The film includes some operatic arias, and Baxter mouths a few songs dubbed by an uncredited vocalist, including the Rudyard Kipling classic "The Road to Mandalay" and "Drink from the Cup of Tomorrow" (Samuel Pokrass, Walter Bullock). leave a comment
