RICHARD S Mar 27 Standing on its own, this is an entertaining comedy, and a chance to see Gardner is lighter fare than usual. Walker, excellent as always, shines, as does the wonderful Eve Arden. This does not do justice to the musical on which it is based, however. That would have required some heavyweight musical talents!. But, this is definitely a very good piece of entertainment! See more Thomasina M 10/06/2024 This is a sweet little movie about love. I thoroughly enjoyed the fantasy of people recognizing someone that they otherwise would not have thought to love. The song of Venus, "Speak Low" was beautiful and embodied the spirit of the movie. Thomasina Meeks See more Bo T 04/07/2024 Clunky. The script and the direction very nearly sinks the actors. Only Eve Arden survives. A waste of Ava Gardner and Robert Walker's talents. See more 03/10/2021 S J Perelman and Ogden Nash wrote a very humorous film. Ava Gardner is an 11 on a scale of 10. See more 04/27/2020 Throughout the 50's and early 60's, my sister and I would get up at whatever the time of night to watch this movie. It has a simple theme of love found in the oddest circumstances, love irretrievably lost at the end but recovered from the ashes before the credits. (Same overall theme as Affair to Remember 10 years later... but no Ava Gardner!!!!!) See more 02/02/2019 The best romance movie ever made! See more Read all reviews
