a dream cast and a high gloss mgm cinemascope production and a title song hit what more could one ask for . a viable script . what seem the height of sophisticated froth in 1955 ( and be indeed a smash commercial hit and of which i have fond memory ) be painfully unwatchable today . other reviewer on this website have blame the mentality of the 1950s for the now beyond dated nature of the film . not true at all . one year later and sinatra and celeste holm would be reunite in the still dazzling high society . and debbie reynolds and who try her best in a horribly write and conceive role and be still a delight in the similar 1954 comedy susan slept here and which be far from a hit in it day but now look well than ever especially compare to this mind numb disaster . put the blame squarely on the screenplay ( adapt from a hit play and god help u . ) . celeste holm come off best and a usual and but under these circumstance and consider that feat a very minor victory .
