| I saw Mary, Mary on Broadway and saw the film as well. Barbara bel Geddes was magical and made the whole thing work. I don’t remember much more about it except that it was very, very funny. It moved along briskly and didn’t take itself too seriously. The movie, on the other hand, is heavy-handed and dull and not helped at all by Debbie Reynolds’s lackluster performance. | |

| When LeRoy moved this piece out of that studio set into a studio nightclub set (with snow!) I thought, maybe i will give this a bit more time. Did not work. It's a dull movie and there's no getting around it. I wanted to like it. I had exhausted my Law and Order allotment for the week. What better than a stagebound Hollywood comedy with Debbie Reynolds and Barry Nelson (who I saw on Bway in THE ACT). Maybe I'll give it another shot it they air it in the daytime. |

| In all fairness, this only seems to apply to women's names with two syllables. Unless it begins with L. | |
