On their 13th wedding anniversary, long-simmering tensions between Manhattan businessman Chris Walters (David Niven) and his homemaker wife, Alice (Mitzi Gaynor), explode with the arrival of a new television set from Alice's well-meaning but meddlesome parents (Loring Smith, Phyllis Povah). Tired of Chris's explosive temper and embarrassed by his drunken admission to her parents that they had been intimate prior to their wedding night, Alice debates leaving her husband.

Tom Pocock London Evening Standard When this tedium has reached its happy ending one's relief is mixed with pity for the admirable Mr. Niven. Hard as he tries and deftly as he delivers his lines he remains a victim of mis-casting. May 27, 2021 Full Review Jay Jacobs The Reporter A puerile farce. Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
