Mireille T @RT34033469 Jun 18 Enjoyed the movie.Idid nt see the play so cant compare to the original. However it was well acted by the female cast and ok from dean martin. A good melodrama See more Martin B @RT44235356 04/12/2025 Don't understand why it didn't get stronger reviews. The subject matter not uplifting but the acting and plot development compelling in my view. See more Alain E @AlainE 02/08/2025 Totally dated melodrama. For the dustbins. Very consistent though. Neither the characters, nor what they say, bear any resemblance to reality. See more Jerry E @engelbach 12/17/2024 This film was a dated melodrama from the moment it was released. In addition, it’s pretty dull, despite the star quality of the female leads. George Duning’s continuous music is mostly annoying and seems to be trying to enliven the boredom of the plot. And Dean Martin is hopeless, a cliched impersonation of a character rather than a believable one. The only interest for me was the appearance of the superb English actor Wendy Hiller trying out a southern American accent.

The plot is very unfocused and alternates between uncovering where Julian got his money from and the inner turmoil of Julian's loved ones and never really makes it work together that well. The weird part is rather than showing the drama between the two characters at hand it is always shown through two other character interactions without the other being present which is really weird in the middle and just is very hard to follow. The women characters besides his fiance all blend in for the most part also. It's interesting and Hill's direction helps make the material watchable despite it not always being focused and a bit meandering. The ending is somewhat interesting also and that helps. Desite Julian being the main focus he really isn't in the majority of it even rather it being about his Mom and older sister who oddly get most of the screen time and just aren't that interesting and are always talking about Julian without him being there. This needed clearer supporting cast and scenes more focused on whose on screen which is a very odd problem. I can't really recommend this to anyone because even for Martin fans, he's not even in it that much. Skip It. See more steve d @RT35616104 07/19/2020 The cast do little with a decent script.
