Reserved college dean Susan Middlecott (Rosalind Russell) is all business and can't be bothered with love. However, when Susan meets charming British astronomy professor Alec Stevenson (Ray Milland), it seems that romance could be in the air. Though she resists being paired with Alec, things don't go as planned -- particularly when a publicity agent and even Susan's amiable father (Edmund Gwenn) get involved. Soon Susan may just be in love, whether she likes it or not.

kevin w Hackneyed and artificial, this "chick flick" concerns cold fish Roz Russell being thawed out by a similarly aloof professor, Ray Milland. They loosely play career-focused intellectual types thrown together by fake news shenanigans. Prepare to groan throughout this bad dream. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member "You are the coldest woman I've ever met in my life! Miss Middlecott, I made a sad mistake when I brought you that locket. What I should have brought you is a suit of long woolen underwear. " Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
