When Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz beat the odds against TV stars succeeding on the big screen in The Long, Long Trailer (1954), MGM contracted America's favorite couple for a second theatrical feature.... read more read more... Forever Darling casts Desi as Lorenzo Xavier Vega, a brilliant scientist and Lucy as Susan, his neglected wife. Wishing out loud that her husband would pay attention to her, Susan is surprised to find her Guardian Angel standing in her living room. Even more surprising is the fact that said angel is an exact double for Susan's favorite movie star, James Mason. Following the angel's advice, Susan tags along when Lorenzo takes a trip in the woods to test out a revolutionary new insecticide. Hoping that the trip will constitute a second honeymoon, poor Susan is in for a major disappointment; as for Lorenzo, he must suffer his wife's well-intentioned "assistance," which of course is no help at all. After a number of I Love {$Lucy}-style comic situations, the couple is on the verge of divorce, but the angelic Mason straightens things out. Forever Darling tanked at the box office, but at least Desi Arnaz cultivated a hit song by recording the title tune. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Typical Lucy/Desi movie from the 50's. Cute, but hard to imagine them realistically in any situation other than the Ricardo's on I Love Lucy...

    It's always worth seeing Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, it doesn't always work, but when it does it's great. A bit of an odd vehicle for the couple, Lucy has a guardian angel sent there to help their marriage. Good production, fine art direction and costumes. Good title song.

The problem with this comedy is its distinct and utter lack of comedy. Full Review
