6/10
Enjoyable.

"Fibber McGee and Molly" was an enormously popular radio program during the 1930s and 40s. Not surprisingly, this resulted in six movies...including this third one in the series. Unfortunately, I've never heard their radio show nor have I seen any of their films, so perhaps others can better judge how good this film is if you are a fan.

In addition to these characters, the film features radio stars, Throckmorton Gildersleeve of "The Great Gildersleeve". And, like Fibber McGee and Molly, he made a few films...which I really enjoyed. The same goes for Edger Bergen...who made a name for himself on the radio and in films as well.

In this story, the McGees are having an anniversary. When their plans for a party fall through, they decide on a second honeymoon. Unfortunately, the first place they go to is a real dump...so they decide to try another hotel. Unfortunately, it's a very expensive one and Fibber wonders how they can afford it. What's worse...Molly's old boyfriend (Gale Gordon) is there...and Fibber can't stand the guy. Does he have good reason? See the film and see for yourself.

This is a mildly enjoyable film. Nothing exceptional but pleasant and fun...and well worth seeing even if you are not familiar with these radio acts.
