Anne (Zellweger) is no longer as young as she once was. When she finds her husband, bandleader Dan (Bacon), in bed with one of his singers, she packs her bags, fetches her sons from school and takes off. Her plan is to find a new husband with money. She’s disappointed time and again but she hides the hurt with her sweet Southern Bell smile and undiminished optimism.
This is the 50s, with all its despicable
treatment of women. It’s loosely based on actor George Hamilton’s teen-age
years. It’s not great but Zellweger can play anything and does this role very
well indeed.
