Pao L Although a beautiful old movie, it's another glimpse into a male dominated world where lying and double standards are acceptable. The hipocracy is sickening and I'm sad I can no longer enjoy these old movies. Basically, the protagonist lies to his wife her entire life and proudly boasts his rightness and deceptions, with all his male friends and his son in cohoots. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Frances H Cute romantic comedy brightened by Moria Sheaer's ballet and the great Gladys Cooper. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/20 Full Review Audience Member As a man who loves redheads, I can't help but love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
