      Time Out The script's few good ideas are soon flogged to death, although it all becomes interestingly tasteless towards the end. May 6, 2013 Full Review Eugene Archer New York Times Nobody demands probability from a farce, but this one keeps its hapless actors so busy explaining what is going on that they have no time to stay for laughs. Rated: 1.5/5 May 6, 2013 Full Review TIME Magazine On the back lot at Universal City, Love creates a cardboard Paris and fills it with evidence that 1965 is a dull year abroad. May 6, 2013 Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 Complications arise when Van Dyke returns and discovers Garner's scam. He is not impressed. Neither will you be. May 6, 2013 Full Review TV Guide Good cast handles the material well but the film is so bloated with lunacy that it is hard to keep up with. Rated: 2.5/4 May 6, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

      S R Silly and ridiculous, but I laughed out loud at the randomness. It's not perfect, but it gets some of it right. Great cast. Saw on TCM. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a great movie, hilarious! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member In my opinion, this is a pretty good film. It will give you a few good laughs. Isn't that the reason we watch romantic comedies? It is not thought provoking but is great way to pass a quiet evening. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute, cute, cute. of course, I'm an artist. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member reminded of a non-musical 'an american in paris" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's been a long long time since I seen this one, but I thought it was a really funny plot where a poor artist fakes his death to sell his paintings and then James Garner (Maverick) get accused of his murder and has to be saved from the Guillotine. Really good cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
