William Peter Blatty penned the script...and you can already grasp the beginnings of the clever and abrasive dialogue that would punctuate his two underrated directorial achievements, The Ninth Configuration and Exorcist III: Legion.

Arthur Hiller proves he is the wrong director and Warren Beatty shows he is the wrong actor for this forthy satire of the changing sexual and family mores of the 1960s. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D 07/25/2023 It sure hasn't aged well. See more 11/08/2020 Very cute and engaging film; wonderfully sharp William Peter Blatty screenplay. In its special way, a classic. See more Frances H 01/28/2020 How can you mess up a flick with Leslie Caron, Warren Beatty, Keenan Wynn, Hermione Gingold and Cathleen Nesbit? Well this flick did it! A horrible script! See more 07/02/2019 Pleasant little comedy with a scene stealing baby. See more 07/11/2016 Lightweight comic fluff with a solid cast and crew behind it. Warren Beatty plays an aspiring NYC filmmaker, well, A nudie film filmmaker, and finds inspiration when it meets an attractive widow at his apartment building, Leslie Caron, by including her toddler son as comic relief in his films. There's also something of a love triangle between Beatty, Caron and Caron's boss Robert Cummings, but it's all very silly and punctuated by lots of musical-like sequences and a surprising amount of ladies appearing in various states of undress for a film of it's time. The film was written by future author of "The Exorcist," William Peter Blatty, and was directed by Arthur Hiller. The film also features a very catchy theme song by Burt Bacharach, sung by the great Tom Jones. And look fast for a young Donald Sutherland in an uncredited role as an autograph seeking father. See more 06/30/2016 typical MGM sixties rom-com even comes with a tom jones sung theme song too! See more Read all reviews
