Please Believe Me (1950)

A British lass (Deborah Kerr) inherits an estate in Texas. On her Atlantic crossing, three young men show a romantic interest in her: an in debt gambler (Robert Walker), a rich playboy (Peter Lawford) and a lawyer (Mark Stevens). Produced by Val Lewton (CAT PEOPLE) and directed by Norman Taurog (BLUE HAWAII). At its best (which isn't very much), this romantic comedy can be called a pleasant diversion. Filming began with Van Johnson as the lawyer but he was replaced by Mark Stevens early in the shooting. There's not much you can say about a movie like this. It's professional and the cast is engaging but there's a lack of charm (though Kerr is charming) and wit which the best romcoms have. With Spring Byington, J. Carrol Naish and Ian Wolfe.
