2025 movie #54. A man (Sullivan), while on a Mexican fishing vacation, gets trapped under a collapsed pier. His wife (Stanwyck) goes for help and is kidnapped by a despirite killer. And the tide is coming in. Pretty good suspense story.
2024 movie #77. 1964. When a man's (McMurray) wife (Bergen) gets elected President, he finds himself bored with traditional "First Lady" duties. He causes an international incident when he takes a South American dictator out on the town. Moderately funny and McMurray is good.
Society tells a widow how to behave.
1/4 (Bad).
I gave up after 30 minutes, there being no good reason to watch this movie in the first place, and nothing in the first half hour to change my mind.
