12/07/2017 I guess this film must be considered a sleeper. I am not a huge comedy fan but really appreciated this. A more able cast than you might expect for a comedy. It is not perfect but no comedy is. Worth a look if you are in a receptive mood. See more 08/27/2013 nette 70er comedy mit guten ansätzen aber leider auch viel leerlauf See more 06/15/2013 This 1970's Matthau film has some enjoyable moments of levity, but doesn't have much mass appeal. The film is about a widower and surgeon (played by Matthau) and a divorcee (played by Jackson) starting a new relationship for the first time in decades. The target audience is pretty much the character's own demographic (i.e., middle-aged men and women) and will bore younger viewers who will also find the movie extremely dated. Matthau and Jackson are both celebrated actors and are better than the unfulfilling script allows them to be. Carney plays an aging forgetful doctor in a role definitely intended to add humour, but severely missed the mark. See more 04/07/2012 Hard to imagine Walter Matthau as this Lothario Dr. who beds all these younger women just 3 months after the death of his wife. Glenda Jackson adds spark as a foil and serious interest for Matthau, and while they do have some chemistry, I felt Jackson's character deserved better. Even more disturbing was the way the hospital was portrayed with Art Carney as a senile chief of surgery still allowed to practice medicine. See more 09/27/2010 A good old romantic comedy with Walter Matthau's fantastic performance (as usual). Richard Benjamin and Glenda Jackson are good as well. See more 07/09/2010 Walter plays a great part in this movie being a doctor. Great Comedy. If you like older movies it is a Must See!! See more Read all reviews
