The Facts of Life

Despite having the great Bob Hope and Lucille Ball in the leading roles this is not the best of what were known as the "bed room" films back then. The chemistry is somewhat there and there are some true skin crawling moments of a tense nature in the dark comedy vein to be had but it just doesn't seem to have the punch others did. Snagged an Oscar for the costumes oddly enough and Ruth Hussey is a pleasure as always to watch and we get an uncredited bit showing from character actor Vito Scotti but to be honest, if you have the DVD or video, fast forward it to the airport scene towards the end and this is where you will find the meat of the film.
