Bob Hope and
Lucille Ball make a mad dash to San Francisco International Airport in
a rainstorm at the climax of The Facts of Life. In the 1960 comedy,
Bob and Lucy are Larry Gilbert and Kitty Weaver, members of the SoCal country
club set who, bored with their own spouses, fall in love after being thrown
together on an Acapulco holiday when all the other husbands and wives are
AWOL. They return home and find continuing their affair to be more hassle
than it's worth. Lucy uses a shopping trip to Gumps as her cover for an
assignation with Bob. She leaves husband Don DeFore and sets out on a new
life with Bob, but the pair has a change of heart after the rain spoils
their getaway and exposes the truth about the facts of life. Can they make
it back from SFO in time to retrieve Lucy's "dear John" letter to DeFore?
Find out by renting The Facts of LIfe, or watch it in-flight on United
Airlines, the carrier of choice for Larry Gilbert and Kitty Weaver. Directed
by Melvin Frank. With Ruth Hussey, Louis Nye, and Philip Ober (Mr. Vivian
Vance).
