Pat V It’s a delight to watch for the costumes alone. Fabulous 50s couture styles. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Steve D Unpleasant and fairly toxic. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Bonnie K First time I seen this movie. It was a fun, romantic romp. Lauren Bacall, Gregory Peck have lots of chemistry. The 2 characters meet on Vacation in CA. They fall in love and marry in 2 days, go to live at her lavish apt in NYC. MIKE is a sports writer, Marilla is a fashion designer. Thruout the movie the main characters talk to the camera and narrate what they are doing. A funny scene is when Mike has to tell a lady friend he got married. So she dumps cooked ravioli with red sauce on his lap. Mike has to change in a short waiter pants since his pants have wet red sauce all over. Another funny scene when Mike is hiding from the mob, he goes to a hotel room. With him is Mugsy a boxer who got his head hit too many times. So he is like punch drunk! Mike looks at him on the bed so still, with eyes wide open. Mike says he's dead, dead, goes to him, and Mugsy jumps up! Turns out he sleeps with his eyes open. Overall a cute, fun movie! I watched it on HBO MAX. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/23 Full Review kevin w Peck plays a sportswriter and Bacall a fashion designer, who meet and fall in love while on vacation but encounter trouble when they return to their home stomping grounds (New York) because his friends are of the "manly" class while her's are all flaming queers. And she makes more money than him. And he's kept an old flame a secret. It's interesting to see how director V. Minnelli handles all of this, but on the whole the experience is an awkward one, stilted. Peck is no Cary Grant for one thing. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a bad movie. There is no charm, no wit, no sophisticated banter among the main characters. These actors were incapable of this re-working. No chemistry existed between them and the listless, flat performance from Bacall precluded any emotional involvement. The film doesn't work on any level. This attempt at a "sophisticated" comedy failed miserably -- and was only realized on television, with 1970s shows like Mary Tyler Moore. Check your mood before you see this one. As you watch this humorless, witless production, you will feel worse and worse. I suspect most people grab the remote and switch this one off.
