Steve D 07/13/2023 Yikes has it aged terribly. See more 04/15/2012 Best part of this movie is the seagull and Mrs Early (the housekeeper). See more 11/07/2010 Extremely charming, sadly obscure comedy with a stellar cast. Debbie is most appealing, Curd Jurgens full of continental brio, Alexis Smith saucy and sly, John Saxon very handsome and Estelle Winwood an absolute sketch as the spacy housekeeper Mrs. Early. Catch it if you have the chance. See more 07/07/2005 Enjoyable romantic comedy is nothing much out of the ordinary. Debbie Reynolds is typically energetic but it's Estelle Winwood that steal every scene. Overall it's good. Kurt Jurgens is miscast. See more Read all reviews
