too many husband impressed me a the best of the three main version of this plot ( the others be my favorite wife and move over darling ) . only in too many husband do i get a distinct sense of the terrible dilemma face by the spouse who have to make a choice . this be because in this version alone be the two compete spouse portray a equally worthy and charming and and attractive by actor who be close to one another in those quality and as well a in their respective level of stardom at the time the film be make . in both my favorite wife and move over darling and it be quite clear and from the portrayal of one of the compete spouse and from the casting of a less star in the role and whom we be suppose to be root for . not so in too many husband . douglas and macmurray be very near equal in star power and in the way their character be write and portray . unlike the other two film and this result in as real a conflict for the viewer a it do for jean arthur character . unfortunately and it also result in the movie weak point the end ( or lack of one ) . the dilemma be apparently so strong that the film maker themselves be unable to decide . after have arthur character seemingly make her choice and they tack on a rather strange ambiguous end suggest that the losing husband might still have a chance . the effect be a non end that suggest the film maker couldn not make up their mind and so they just turn off the camera .
