Robert Mulligan directed this Americanized re-make of the successful Brazilian comedy
Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands.
Sally Field stars as Kay Villano, a lonely widow of three years who can't forget the memory of her dead husband, Jolly (
James Caan). Jolly was a selfish and unfaithful Broadway choreographer who still managed to win Kay over with his charm. But Kay has fallen in love again with Rupert Baines (
Jeff Bridges), a stuffy professor of Egyptology. As her wedding day approaches, Kay receives a visit from Jolly's ghost, who taunts and harasses her, clearly upset that Kay is marrying someone so dull. Kay goes ahead with the marriage and Jolly refuses to disappear, resulting in a bizarre menage-a-tois. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
