comedy be all about timing and of course and and delmer daves and the director have horrible timing and no feel for comedy . scene after scene fall flat and some of which at least have the potential to be funny . he elicit an embarrassing performance from broderick crawford a an ill temper tenant who sleep during the day and and yell at everyone with such murderous violence you fear he go to go on a killing spree and when it obviously a subplot that suppose to be play for yuks . niven and a the pampered pianist and and wyman and a a down to earth print model and be likable a always ( and wyman display fantastic leg wear white short in one scene where niven literally can not take his eye off her ) but they can only do so much with the middle material . victor moore supply the film only laugh a the curious little man who run the apartment building and willoughby . very familiar local hero plot line which i be usually a sucker for but it require a filmmaker with a much light touch .
