      Steve D Yikes has it aged terribly. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Best part of this movie is the seagull and Mrs Early (the housekeeper). Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely charming, sadly obscure comedy with a stellar cast. Debbie is most appealing, Curd Jurgens full of continental brio, Alexis Smith saucy and sly, John Saxon very handsome and Estelle Winwood an absolute sketch as the spacy housekeeper Mrs. Early. Catch it if you have the chance. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable romantic comedy is nothing much out of the ordinary. Debbie Reynolds is typically energetic but it's Estelle Winwood that steal every scene. Overall it's good. Kurt Jurgens is miscast.
