Extremely charming, sadly obscure comedy with a stellar cast. Debbie is most appealing, Curd Jurgens full of continental brio, Alexis Smith saucy and sly, John Saxon very handsome and Estelle Winwood an absolute sketch as the spacy housekeeper Mrs. Early. Catch it if you have the chance.

Super Reviewer

Enjoyable romantic comedy is nothing much out of the ordinary. Debbie Reynolds is typically energetic but it's Estelle Winwood that steal every scene. Overall it's good. Kurt Jurgens is miscast.
