three for the show

January 9: Three for the Show. Remake of Too Many Husbands starring Betty Grable and Jack Lemmon. In this version Lemmon is a Korean War vet who was presumed dead, then shows up again about a year after Grable, a Broadway star, has remarried to dancer Gower Champion.

This had its moments, but if I had my choice I'd watch Too Many Husbands again instead. There's one funny scene where Grable goes to see Lemmon's commanding officer, and misunderstands him to be saying that it's okay for her to stay legally married to both men. With exasperation he finally says, "If we were to follow your logic, it would result in the ridiculous conclusion that a woman can have as many husbands as she wants!" Yeah, that's ridiculous.
