      Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press The situations are predictable and if the film never quite soars it doesn't bog down too badly either, thanks to some slick production. What will happen is less important than how it will happen in the hands of a generally capable and skillful cast. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D Amusing but does not hold a candle to the original. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A romantic comedy featuring two of the biggest singers of their day, Andy Williams and Robert Goulet. This quaint sixties comedy is SO period a piece that early sixties fans will love it and many today will wonder just what was so good about it. Well, I guess you had to be aware of the times and the actors in this so so romantic comedy.

The film focuses on a dying man who wishes to meet his granddaughter's fiancé, but he is unavailable, so the woman persuades another man to substitute for him. Then the grandfather recovers."--wikipedia [img]https://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/29/MPW-14880[/img] Andy Williams and Robert Goulet, though superstar male vocalists in the day are excellent actors in this very period romantic comedy SO typical of the early 1960's.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the greatest movie ever made, but a great way to see the young man behind the voice. I've always been Robert Goulet's biggest fan & I've had the pleasure of meeting both Bob & his wife Vera-they are very sweet.
