      Bosley Crowther New York Times There must be some simple explanation of why Miss Kerr's play has run for so long, but I don't get it from this movie, which is two hours of conversational fuzz. Apr 6, 2016 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The dreary production never escapes its theatrical roots. Rated: C+ Sep 16, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

      Lee W Oh boy, what happened here? Most of the actors are from the play but Debbie Reynolds comes in to play the part Barbara Bel Geddes created on the stage. We know she's the star because she has the star wardrobe although for some reason she wears a shapeless Balenciaga inspired muffin colored dress in the first act. The wisecracks come fast and limp. There's an extended sequence where they hunt for cigarettes in the apartment which is just not funny. Jokes about sleeping pills, so not funny. None of it is funny really. It seems a lot like a Neil Simon play, a lot of weak gags strung together on a story that is so predictable it's not...even...funny! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review Steve D Far too thin to work. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant film version of Jean Kerr’s play. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/15/21 Full Review Audience Member just ok not really my thang though Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
