Val and Dan have been married for 19 years, but during this time Dan has become rather distant in his affection to Val and also pretty dull and uninteresting. Val is desperate for excitement in her relationship and after a while she can't take anymore and wants to get divorced. Dan is devastated and turns to his best pal Ernie for comfort. Despite Ernie regularly congratulating Dan on his practical and comfortable life and stating how jealous he is of this lifestyle he is actually a booze swizzling, floosy chasing bachelor who adores single life and wouldn't change it for anything. Egged on by Ernie's suggestion to whisk Valerie away for a second honeymoon to Mexico, Dan then realises he has to rush back to work at the last minute to save his company from collapsing, but doesn't have time to tell Val. Ernie volunteers to go to Mexico to explain it all to her and... you can guess what happens... I thought it was very funny, a great cast and all the actors were chosen as the right characters to play them. Sinatra can be very amusing, and you can tell he and Dean are great chums off screen. Kerr is just lovely and so elegant in every single way.
