This is the first of two films released in 1959 starring Debbie Reynolds and Glenn Ford. No one should go out of their way to watch either, except for the fact that Ms. Reynolds always acts with energy, even when the film is lackluster.
The meandering script has Ford, an army airman who was stationed in Iceland, come home and happen to catch a glimpse of Reynolds. He makes a nuisance of himself following her. He is not even likable. But a small smooch magically transforms the relationship and before you can say "pass the popcorn" they are married and he is leaving for his new assignment in Spain. Also, he wins a futuristic car that everyone fawns over.
Even though she jumped at marrying Ford, Reynolds still doubts the wisdom of her choice. I guess she never heard the saying "Marry in haste, repent at leisure." So, she wants a month of celibacy to prove their true compatibility. Throw in a large section about bullfighting and that is, essentially, the plot.
Ford is horribly miscast and their chemistry is nonexistent. Let's just say that it ended with dissatisfaction and boredom.
