There will be no attempt made
here today to dissuade you from
seeing Forever Darling the
second feature-length movie
made by Lucille Ball and Desi
Arnaz. This brew obviously was
concocted for the millions who
gather around the warm televi-
sion hearth weekly to commune
With Lucy and Desi. Since there
are more millions than see most
movies, MGM can hardly be
Anticipated for catering to them
Forever Darling represents
something of a bonus for the
Lucy" set. too. 1t is in color and
1t looms large on the Capitol
Theater's screen. 1t is nothing,
however. to excite anyone other
than the Lucy-Desi faithful.
Miss Ball is presented here as
the wife of a scientist imper-
sonated by Mr.. ArnaZ. Her prob
lem is that she has decisions of
James Mason. At least she sees
her guardian angel and he looks
exactly like James Mason. She
talks to him, too, which puzzles
her husband little since he can I
see his mates guardian angel,
aThe reason this angel looks SO
much like James Mason is that
he is played by James Mason.
It is hardly an intriguing dra-
matte exercise in the first place
and Mason endows it with the
same funeral charm he used to
employ while selling soap on the
televislon. Louis Calhern is
trapped in Forever Darling, -
too. He manages to brighten up
two or three scenes just enough
to be acutely missed during his
long absences.
Miss Ball and Mr.. Arraz are, OF
course, an entertaining pair when
given the proper material. but
that is what Producer Desi
Arnaz forgot to supply here. Even
so, Miss Ball is a talented enough
comedienne to manage several
moments of true slapstick fun
fugitive though these may be
She is genuinely funny when she
gets herself all mixed up in
camping equipment and when
she suddenly sees herself taking
Marilyn MaAWell's place in a
Mason movie within
On the whole, however, For
ever Darling" does nothing to
alter view formed on seeing
the very first Il Love Lucy
show. This is that this sort oil
Hollywood foolishness never will
take the place of authentic wit
