Despite the over-deliberate pratfalls that have been imposed on her, Miss Garson loses none of her indomitable grace. Go to Full Review James Agee TIME Magazine Mar 23, 2011
This semi-farcical rehash of Madame X, etc. might have been an entertaining movie, but it is done without gaiety, irony, style or even simple fun. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety Mar 26, 2009
Fast and vigorous in walloping over the comedy. Go to Full Review TV Guide Mar 23, 2011
3.5/4
A charming comedy that shows off Garson's flair for light-heartedness in an unaccustomed role. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D @RT35616104 Apr 1, 2024 Its stars are great and against type but I don't see what she sees in her husband. See more Jul 16, 2012 another pairing from mrs miniver plus taylor and lawford See more Sep 13, 2010 Lighthearted romp boasts good cast and playful tone. Manages to charm despite lack of plot. See more Dec 16, 2009 A not so funny comedy with strong cast; Elizabeth Taylor, Greer Garson, Wilter Pidgeon and Peter Lawford. Greer Garson plays a "oh soooo crazy" and "oh sooo funny" dancehall actress and mother named Julia, who's daughter Susan (Elizabeth Taylor) is about to get married. Julia hasn't met her daughter or husband for some reason or other, for many years and gets all "gidderish" when she is going to meet them after all these years. Though I have to admit that Greer Garson is a very good actress, despite mostly choosing very very dull roles, and this gets a little bit dull as well since it's supposed to be a comedy but Greer Garson alone isn't funny enough. More interesting for the incredibly chic clothes the female characters are wearing, then the plot itself. See more Nov 7, 2009 my all time fav!! ty auntie!! See more Sep 30, 2008 Fun, but not their best. Still has many fun moments and it's good to see Walter and Greer feud once in a while. See more Read all reviews
