OK comedy pairs Matthau and Hawn.

Based on a French farce, first done as a Broadway play, this mildly amusing, highly theatrical comedy benefits from its star power: Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman (taking over Lauren Bacall's stage role) and best of all Glodie Hawn.

A film that has so many weird things about it,Ingrid Bergman is in an America sex comedy.Goldie Hawn won an Oscar for her roll.A 49 year old Walter Matthau is cast as a cad who's banging Goldie Hawn.and it was remade as the Adam Sandler film "Just Go With It"

This sex farce from the late 60's involves both the war between the sexes and the generation gap.

Dated, sure, like when
