Shy, destitute Peter Porter (Eddie Bracken) meets equally impoverished Nancy Crane (Priscilla Lane) at a Florida beach. Inspired by Peter's belief that a person can acquire wealth simply by creating an aura of success, the outgoing Nancy convinces Peter to join her in impersonating a confident and eccentric wealthy couple. The experiment works, and the couple secure a stunning wardrobe and a lavish room at a resort. Peter panics, however, when he gets a fantastic job offer.

Mike F I was pleasantly surprised when I recognized Bracken in this picture 45 years before his role as Mr. Duncan in Home Alone 2. I thought he was terrific and very much enjoyed his portrayal of a poor man that teams up with a similarly situated woman and pretend that they are wealthy socialites. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
