good movie
by missyraiderette2002-01-09

"Though it does make women look as if each has an alterior motive which is to trap a guy into marriage, it is a fun loving film that has alot of potential and with Frank in it, it makes it a classic. Though the supporting cast is wonderful we musn't forget Debbie Reynolds. Her part as a young naive girl is unforgettable and was a large step in the right direction....."

💡 Did You Know?

Debbie Reynolds and Frank Sinatra became good friends, and during production he took her to lunch and said, "Sweetie, don't get married. Don't marry a singer. We're nice guys, but we're not good husbands." At the time, Reynolds was engaged to Eddie Fisher, who ultimately left her for Elizabeth Taylor.
