Come Live With Me-Move Away from this One **
11 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
To paraphrase: "When you wed, you don't have to know that much about your partner, but when you're getting a divorce, you should learn about them." This is basically what this film is about and it is as foolish as my first sentence.

The plot sounds good. A woman who escapes Nazi controlled Austria must marry an American or face deportation. This is the problem facing Hedy Lamarr but she can't make the most of it due to the inept writing. They certainly could have made her romance James Stewart more during the week she had before facing being removed. Instead, she merely weds Stewart quickly. After they're wed, her lover then decides to divorce his wife so that he can be free to marry her. Why in heaven's name didn't he do this before her marriage to Stewart.

Going up to grandma's house at the end of this film does nothing either. Grandma's house is full of proverbs. One of them should have read "Much Ado About Nothing!"
