"One of my favorites in the 'old comedy' genre. I bring it out for friends and relatives for comfort evenings. Jim Garner at the top of his form, not long after his Maverick character became a household name, but before Rockford. Lee Remick looking great, in an intelligent role for a beautiful woman. It's worth the time just to see the terrific supporting cast of old faces (now mostly passed away.) The only problem is my VHS version is just about worn out, and it's not available on DVD. Who do we complain to? * - - Art ..."

💡 Did You Know?

The building shown as the "Cotton Mather Inn" is actually on MGM's lot, known as the "Girl's School", probably because it served that purpose for the films Forty Little Mothers (1940) and Three Daring Daughters (1948). The structure was notably used in Tea and Sympathy (1956) and The Cobweb (1955), where it was a psychiatric clinic.
