![]() What that means is that most of the movie focuses upon Kay finding ranch life a struggle but slowly gets use to it, which means burnt food, unable to ride and various other simple gags which lack any imagination. I think the biggest problem with "Never a Dull Moment" is that there is not a single moment of originality in the entire movie and so it becomes a procession through obvious gags and narrative. From feud's with neighbours to early starts and cooking Kay struggles but slowly gets to grip with things, that is until an incident puts the ranch at risk and leads Kay to wonder whether she should leave and go back to the city. After a short romance and quick marriage Kay leaves the city for life on Chris's little ranch and as mother to his two daughters but immediately finds herself a fish out of water. Successful singer and songwriter Kay Kingsley ( Irene Dunne - My Favorite Wife) meets rodeo rider Chris Heyward ( Fred MacMurray - Flight for Freedom) at a benefit rodeo in the city. Sadly the writing does them all a disservice because most of the comedy in "Never a Dull Moment" is obvious and just general fish out of water slap stick with not a single clever gag to be seen. Maybe it's not that bad but when you have a comedy starring Irene Dunne and Fred MacMurray plus the whiney voice of Andy Devine you expect more, you expect chemistry, cuteness and laughs. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Never a Dull Moment" must be one of the most ironic titles I have ever come across because sadly this movie is little more than dull moments. ![]()
