What a team, who starred as husband and wife in the popular Disney movie, BON VOYAGE in 1962.
In this case, Jane plays Sylvia, an old friend of Steve's --who could have become his wife -- stopping by to visit, and proving a bit of a problem for Barbara...
Sylvia is rich, has lots of old memories with the family and spoils Chip and Ernie. She even offers to drive them to a Dodgers baseball game in her limousine!
I agree with the last reviewer. Sylvia mentions everybody with fondness, but forgets Bub and Mike.
If she knew Steve all those years, she would have not forgotten Steve's oldest son and grandpa Bub, right?
It could have also been written, not to overshadow Uncle Charley.
Anyway, it's a trying time for Barbara, whose totally caught off guard, cleaning the house, while Sylvia struts in dressed to impress. Jane Wyman is a must see for this role, and plays it well. A bit of soap opera thrown in for good measure, too.
Jane may have also been cast due to all the promotion and hype about her last film, HOW TO COMMIT MARRIAGE, co-starring Bob Hope and Jackie Gleason. Watch for it. A classic.
Uncle Charley is cooking meatloaf?
Do not miss. Best of SEASON 10 remastered color. Thanks for the memories METV.
