Customer Reviews

"Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify." Henry David Thoreau.

Louisa May (with a string of last names) is on the psychiatrist’s couch explaining her life(s). We see this as a series of flashbacks resembling a series of movies. Louisa May Foster (Shirley MacLaine) comes from a family of modest means; her mother (Margaret Dumont), with dollar signs in her eyes, figures it is best for Louisa May to marry Lennie Crawley (Dean Martin), whose father owns the town. Louisa could care less about money, especially Lennie’s insufferable attitude, and wants love. So, she marries for love, and each time, after what looks like an ideal life, an unforeseen circumstance enriches $$$$ her husband and causes their demise. Try as she may, she cannot change the pattern. Can the psychiatrist (Bob C-u-m-m-i-n-g-s) help? Is she destined to be a rich widow? And what became of Lennie?
