Audience Reviews for Two for the Seesaw

Apr 04, 2015

mitchum & maclaine, as always, on form. The script, although good, could have been better. Don't watch for laughs!

Strong performances from the leads, although Shirley's accent is reminiscent of Anne Bancroft who originated the role on Broadway and might have seemed more at home in the part. Well directed by Wise but if interpersonal dramas aren't your thing-steer clear of this.
