Debbie Reynolds is as cute as ever; Alexis Smith is smart and sexy; Mary Astor is perfect as John Saxon's mother; John Saxon is adorable and sweet. But the interaction between Curt Jurgens and Estelle Winwood really stands out in this film. She is as cuckoo as they come, but also as sweet as they come. He cares for her in a very sweet and quiet way. But the main focus is will he and Reynolds actually get together. One could only hope Reynolds we successful in seducing him, try as she might but, alas she does not succeed. He gives the performance of his life when breaking her heart, with his final wink in her direction utterly disarming. Overall, a light and cheery film, with seasoned professionals looking as if they are having fun making it.
