What happens

Forever, Darling is a 1956 American fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Alexander Hall, written by Helen Deutsch, and starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, and James Mason. In the film, Ball stars as a wife who tries to save her struggling marriage to a chemical engineer (Arnaz) with the help of her guardian angel (Mason). Louis Calhern and Natalie Schafer co-star in supporting roles. Originally intended for William Powell and Myrna Loy, the script caught the interest of Ball and Arnaz, who were interested in making another film for MGM after the success of The Long, Long Trailer. The film was produced during the hiatus of I Love Lucy. MGM released the film on February 9, 1956. Unlike The Long, Long Trailer, the film received mixed reviews and a lukewarm commercial response.
