Lucille Ball and Bob Hope are in fine form in this very funny movie. What makes it so good is that Ball and Hope do not over-do the comedic routines. Yes, Ball sings in her horrendous way in one scene, but the two easily prove that they were pros in every sense of the word.
The film deals with 2 people who by fate are left alone in Mexico after their spouses are unable to make the trip and another couple fall ill. The film shows how Ball and Hope fall in love and think that they were made for each other.
Ball is a frustrated housewife. Hope is the one who really has fate placing him into this romance.
How they realize that their affair was wrong and that marriage is out of the question is done quite well with sharp wit by both these thespians.
