Jolly was a selfish and unfaithful Broadway choreographer who still managed to win Kay over with his charm. But Kay has fallen in love again with Rupert Baines (Jeff Bridges), a stuffy professor of Egyptology. As her wedding day approaches, Kay receives a visit from Jolly's ghost, who taunts and harasses her, clearly upset that Kay is marrying someone so dull. Kay goes ahead with the marriage and Jolly refuses to disappear, resulting in a bizarre menage-a-tois. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    The story is fairly ridiculous but Sally is very winning and James Caan and Jeff Bridges make good contrasts. Claire Trevor is a pistol as Sally's bossy plain talking mother.

    I really like Sailly Field. I just think she has some natural comedic timing and she always makes me laugh. This movie was just very cute.

    One of the funniest films I have ever seen. My sides are still aching from the laughter. If you enjoy a good laugh, then watch this film. I guarantee you will laugh a lot.

    Yes, I like this movie. I like it because Sally Field is married to a funny, gay dead man. ;D It's cute. It's a guilty pleasure. :)
