'Three Guys Named Mike' is better
3 April 2018
In the same vein of Tom, Dick, and Harry and Three Guys Named Mike, this romantic comedy pairs a moderately attractive female lead with three flawed suitors, leaving the audience to groan when the credits roll after she's chosen the wrong man. Even if you love Deborah Kerr, Please Believe Me isn't the best movie to rent. She was terribly miscast; this should have been another vehicle for Jane Wyman, or Barbara Stanwyck in her Ball of Fire phase.

Deborah Kerr has inherited a Texas ranch, and while on the boat from England to America, three men pursue her. Robert Walker is a gold digger, Peter Lawford is a womanizer, and Mark Stevens is just a jerk. None of the characters are sympathetic, and the second half of the movie involves everyone in an uninteresting side plot about gambling. Since the first half wasn't that great to begin with, it's even more of a letdown. This really isn't that great of a movie, so if you want to watch Deborah Kerr in a comedy, rent The Grass is Greener instead.
