Mis cuatro amores

Joan Fontaine plays the title character, a super-alluring women who is adored by four men--all of which want to marry her. While I thought Fontaine was a decent enough actress, here she seemed miscast as I couldn't see any of the sex appeal that the four men found in her. As for the story...well...it was just okay.

The story begins with a very impulsive Richard (Walter Abel) insisting that Susan marry him. Then, quite impulsively, he insists they marry tonight and move across the country to DC. However, when he sees that Susan has three other men who adore her, he decides to invite them all to meet so he can learn more about them...and his bride to be. Each, in turn, tells their story. The first is Susan's ex-husband, Roger (George Brent) and the other two are guys who fell for her once she and Roger were no more (Don Defore and Dennis O'Keefe). Then, when the film ends, Susan must choose one of these guys...or none (as back then choosing two or three or all four was DEFINITELY not an option).

The story was pretty weak and Fontaine neither convincing nor giving one of her better performances. Overall, this clearly has time- passer written all over it. Not a bad film....just not all that good a film.

Joan Fontaine is wonderful in this delightful comedy about a woman who appears to attract men like flies!!! She is about to run off with the man she loves, when he discovers all the so-called 'loose ends' that she has left behind. I am a big fan of Fontaine and this film is one of her best. Watch the way she wraps each man around her little finger without even realising it!! Comes highly recommended.

Joan Fontaine was so often cast in moody, introspective roles in somber dramas that her prowess in comedy was seldom explored. Here it certainly is--she gets the chance to play a woman who is entirely different in the eyes of three men who loved her in the past (George Brent, Don deFore and Dennis O'Keefe)--and are now telling their stories to the man about to marry her (Walter Abel). In flashback we see Susan as a plain-Jane who becomes an actressy type, an intellectual and a glamorous sophisticate. It's a pleasure to see Fontaine enjoying herself in a demanding comedy role for a change--with excellent support from her co-stars, particularly George Brent as an ex-husband. Rarely shown on TV, it's one you have to catch on one of the cable channels and well worth viewing.

George Brent was my fave of the guys.

And the star of the movie being a Joan, playing a Susan who is cast in a stage production of Joan of Arc- wasn't expecting that!

Joan of Arc follows me, I swear. There's some connection between us! Me and the name Joan, it's a big deal! The only thing it was missing was an "Alice in Wonderland" mention (but there is an Alice Flemming in an uncredited role- so Alice-Joan connections strike again!)!

Not one of my favorites. It kind of dragged for me, though maybe I just haven't been in the mood for it. This seems like a part perfect for Jean Arthur though, and I kept wishing it were her. In certain parts of the film, Joan looks like Jean too! Fun fact: Jean is a variation of the name Joan!'

Not the best, but still good. Glad I saw it.

Joan Fontaine shines brilliantly in one of her rare comedies. She plays Susan who is pursued by four different men, each with distinct personalities. As she adapts to each of her suitors personalities, we see a different Susan and a delightful Joan Fontaine. I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys witty dialogue, a brisk paced film. super performances by a supporting cast, and most especially anyone who loves clever story lines. Edith Head designed the clothes Ms. Fontaine wears and they are to die for. It is not available on video, so tape it when it comes on cable. Every once in a while you can purchase it on Ebay. Joan Fontaine is simply great in this movie.
