Lost Honeymoon Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
JohnHowardReid A ridiculous but reasonably amusing comedy of manners that is held together by the efforts of an amiable cast led by Franchot Tone, Tom Conway, Ann Richards, Frances Rafferty and particularly Clarence Kolb.Pacy direction by Leigh Jason from the start and almost to the climax -- where it tends to stall a bit -- helps overcome the constant twisting of the plot in its amiable efforts to get the scenario past the censor. Just how well Jason succeeds is a matter for the viewer, not the critic. I would not be surprised if the movie had amassed ratings from zero to a hundred here at IMDb.Personally, I thought that the movie held together rather well until the action reached a climax that in my view was both too far nonsensical on the one hand and too much of an obvious sell-out to the Legion of Decency on the other.But you can't say the cast and the director were asleep on the job! Production values are reasonably enticing. The film is available on a very good quality Alpha DVD.
mark.waltz Imagine to return home after the war with little memory of your last days and all of a sudden find that you had a wife and child that you didn't know you had. That is the theme of this sweet, if preposterous comedy, where the wife dies and the child's nurse arrives with the kid and in order to make sure the child whom she has grown to love gets a home pretends to be the dead wife. Sound unbelievable beyond belief? My first thoughts exactly, and while the screenplay may slight on reality, it doesn't slight on entertainment. Franchot Tone is a bit long in the tooth to be believable as a World War II hero (after all, he was acting in glossy MGM soaps of the early '30's) but there you have it, and he runs with it in spite of that. He's engaged to the bitchy Frances Rafferty, and a friendly rival (Tom Conway) goes after the fake wife (Ann Richards) in attempts to create more of a romantic quadrangle which you know instantly what the outcome will be. Some great comic supporting players (Clarence Kolb and Una O'Connor) round out the cast, and Winston Severn is adorable as the young son. There's all sorts of comical confusion as Richards arrives at the hotel just as Tone is celebrating his upcoming wedding to the shrill Rafferty, and all sorts of chaos ensues as the press moves in for the kill. This is the type of film where you must suspend all disbelief and just accept it for what it is, post-war comic entertainment of a softer screwball nature. Considering that the post-war years of Hollywood had little to offer in the way of comedy (both on screen and behind the scenes), this is a nice little distraction in the historical sense. Joseph Fields, a very talented writer of some of the best comedies of the 1940's and 50's, came up with this sweet concoction, and if it ain't no "My Sister Eileen", its certainly better than a lot of the comic misfires Hollywood threw at audiences of the time.
wes-connors In Great Britain, an American man fathers some children during World War II service. He seems to desert them, but may actually have amnesia. The mother goes to America where she finds the man does not remember having amnesia. He is going to marry another woman, which would give him two wives. However, the man begins to like the wife and children he doesn't remember. He must choose between the two women, but also please the new one's father who happens to be his boss. This movie originally seemed average, but a second viewing has made me forget some of the finer points.*** Lost Honeymoon (3/47) Leigh Jason ~ Franchot Tone, Ann Richards, Tom Conway, Frances Rafferty
Snow Leopard With a far-fetched and often silly story, "Lost Honeymoon" is only mildly entertaining, and that mainly because of some decent performances by a mostly good cast. The romantic comedy story itself doesn't work very well.Franchot Tone stars as a successful American architect who one day is confronted by an Englishwoman with two children, who claims to have married him when he served in England during World War II. The architect doesn't remember anything about it. Both the architect and the woman have secrets of their own, leading to an initially complicated, then rather silly, situation. While at times mildly entertaining, the story gets completely predictable very quickly, and is never very believable.The only thing that keeps the movie from being a total loss is that the cast does a mostly acceptable job with some ridiculous characters. They do make you care a little bit about the characters, even though they are not very credible. Tone, in particular, does as well as anyone could with his situation. But this movie would only be of any real interest to those who enjoy all romantic comedies regardless of quality.
