Chemical scientist Lorenzo Xavier Vega (Desi Arnaz) marries famous rich socialite Susan (Lucille Ball). Their marriage grows cold over the years. He fights with his in-laws and the couple has a blow up. A guardian angel (James Mason) appears to her which only she can see and has taken the image of a movie star.
With their TV show closer to the end than the beginning, this TV royalty continues to try to be movie couple stars. The marriage troubles keep it from being funny. The first half is angry and sad. The angel has some comedic potential but it's not really there. Then the couple tries to turn it 180 into a screwball comedy. The change is odd and weird. The concept has the potential to be a feel-good sentimental melodrama. The comedic attempt only saps the seriousness of the first half. This movie is constructed wrong.
