Was Lucy Allright while filming??


I know that this film was made during and after Lucy's divorce from Desi but while everyone in this movie seemed to be just walking through their parts and there is valid criticisms on this thread that no one acted up to their capacity, Lucy struck me as having a pale, colorless sickly appearance and seemed to be sleepwalking through her part.She appeared to be ill and never showed any of her usually abundant energy here..I know, she was supposed to be browbeaten by her critic husband, Bob Hope,but here appearance and affect went way beyond that. She just looked as though she didn't want to be there, and I think personal issues were taking their toll on her...did anyone else share this observation?

The movie was released in 1963. Lucy married Gary Morton her 2nd husband in 1961. so she and Gary were probably newlyweds when this movie was filmed.
