These 3 Broads Were Really Taken ***for Why Do Fools Fall in Love?

Warning: Spoilers
A very good film despite being uneven at times. It is most shocking that wives 1 and 2 would take Lyman back after each episode. Wife number 3 represented the very opposite of 1 and 2. She was prim and proper but knew how to get uptight when the judge ruled against her.

Larenz Tate, as Frankie Lyman, is absolutely terrific in the lead role. Tate is a very powerful performer and he knows how to very well evoke the Lyman of drug use, despair and a brief wonderful career.

The court rooms scenes are great and Little Richard steals the show by playing himself in one particular scene in the witness chair.

The music and dancing scenes are well staged and the title song rings out true to form.

Hell certainly had no fury here when 3 women were scorned.

Frankie Lyman was certainly a victim of himself. He certainly showed his inability to maintain relationships.
