They made a lot of interesting choices in the Deborah Kerr line-up (e.g., The Innocents, Black Narcissus), but also went for From Here to Eternity and Tea and Sympathy.

I've never seen it, so I'm giddy with anticipation.

I own Black Narcissus. Whoa, boy, that's one wild movie.

It could easily have declined into melodrama if it weren't for the performances of Deborah Kerr and Spencer Tracy, but they both make it well worth viewing.

I'd say much the same about 'Dream Wife" – it's a silly story, but what a delight Kerr is with Cary Grant – they were a good team. It's worth watching just for those two playing so beautifully off each other.

And "Vacation From Marriage" – light fare, but how could you go wrong with Deborah Kerr and Robert Donat, backed up by Glynis Johns? It's fun.
