It is the closest the sound film has come to recapturing the genius of the silent movie chase comedy.

Because Simon is dealing with a place -- and a commonplace -- rather than people, it is only too easy to see the jokes coming long before they arrive.

...a fairly straight-forward premise that's employed to somewhat repetitive yet mostly engaging effect...

Pained and occasionally hilarious fun.

Jack Lemmon, Sandy Dennis, and a gritty New York City make this worth watching.

Nov 04, 2007albeit having some funny moments the film was just moan moan moan moan and frankly i get enough of that shit from the older folks where i work. last thing i wanna do is sit down for 2 hours and hear some couple complain constantly. jack lemmon couldn't save this.. and he only knows why he decided it would be a good idea to act in this film with this script that can only have been written with the sole idea of pissing people offSanity Assassin !

George Kellerman: | Explain? What I'm doing in the bushes with a little boy? With my hands in his pockets? They'd give me 10-20 years. |
