i can only believe that garson kanin must have be two people . the one who write the brilliant a double life and the funny bear yesterday and co write such excellent screenplay a adam rib and pat and mike with his wife ruth gordon and then the one who write and or or direct such tiresome and sad drivel a bachelor mother and some kind of a nut and and this . the cast try and but the script be so tired and clichéd that even the effort of the always wonderful brenda vaccaro be defeat . the script sink to it nadir in the truly offensive sequence in which janssen character test drivas character to make sure he not gay . an ugly sequence and but sadly one which could easily play in a film today . ethnic joke be now totally verboten and but fag joke be still good and clean and family fun .
