About
You may enjoy this if you like light, old-school romantic farces with flirtation, misunderstandings, and a knowingly dated tone, especially if Same Time, Next Year or Move Over, Darling appeal to you; Not for you if dated sex comedy setups or mild silliness wear thin.
Pros: breezy comic setup; charming cast; playful 1960s energy | Cons: dated gender humor; thin story; underwhelming ending
