Todd B Watchable mess. Mostly because it is of an inbetween sort of era (America post Elvis and pre-Beatlemania). Probably seemed daring on stage, but gets kinda cringe so often, it is hard to see why Mitchum would submit to the role of an slouching iceberg, quipping and cracking lines that make you wonder why anyone would want this fella at the center of a movie. Shirley Maclaine, on the other hand, it magnetic from the jump. Even though the script gives her and us little reason accept that she would let the cinder block that is Mitchum's character into her life. The score is a big plus, as it the on location cinematography. Really, if you just watch the opening credits sequence and the too short scene of McLean dancing by herself just past the hour mark, you are getting most of what makes the movie worth clicking towards. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Greg H I cannot believe this movie got such low ratings on here? I loved the movie it was a play before it was a movie, I would love to have seen the play, and it won a Tony. Did not like the ending but think this was always meant to be a play not a movie. Would like to have seen a more 5 to 7 ending. Great movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Audience Member mitchum & maclaine, as always, on form. The script, although good, could have been better. Don't watch for laughs! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Robert Mitchum is miscast as a Nebraska lawyer having a midlife crisis. He moves to Greenwich Village, where he meets dancer Shirley MacLaine, vulnerable and a harpy at the same time. Talky, dated, and so boring I quit paying attention until I looked up to see the MGM lion roaring at the end. Notable only as the picture where the leads met and had a lifelong affair. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I really wanted to like this film, being directed by the great Robert Wise, with a gorgeous jazzy score by Andre Previn, and two favorites as the romantic leads, Robert Mitchum and Shirley McClaine. Unfortunately, the story is quite predictable and rather trite. McClain and Mitchum are terrific and really do manage to carry the film. Wise directs the film with style and the black and white photography of New York City is terrific. The script is where the film lets down, with it feeling like an incredibly dated story. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "two for the seesaw" has wonderful performances from both robert mitchum and shirley maclaine, who are great together. both of them play it genuinely and you forget they're famous actors and believe they are the characters they're portraying.
