Successful architect Don Gresham (William Holden) engages a young actress, Patty O'Neill (Maggie McNamara), in conversation on top of the Empire State Building, and she accepts his invitation to dinner. Dropping in at his apartment on the way, they decide to dine there as Patty announces herself an excellent cook. Don slips out to buy food, and Patty is briefly visited by his ex-fiancée, Cynthia Slater (Dawn Addams), and not too briefly, by Cynthia's father David (David Niven), a middle-aged, practiced charmer who, on her invitation, stays to dinner. A slight accident at the table occasions Patty to change her dress for Don's bathrobe. While Don is away placating the jealous Cynthia, David loses no time in offering Patty a proposal of marriage and a six hundred dollar gift. She accepts the latter and is surprised by Don in a grateful kiss to David. Don is still enraged with Patty when her father arrives, and, outraged to discover his daughter in a bachelor's apartment, knocks him senseless.
Leave your thoughts about The Moon Is Blue.
| Time OutTom MilneDespite the fuss at the time, there's little blue about this except the title. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzKnown today because it challenged the Hollywood Production Code. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA landmark of its time -- and a very dull one. |
| User ReviewCharlie Gan extraordinary classic comedy that was originally banned in some cities due to its blunt script and subject matter. hilarious performances, especially by the amazing maggie mcnamara. |
| User ReviewStefan PWhat a shame. One of the best movies I've seen and there's almost no one that has seen it. The script is absolutely brilliant. So is the acting. So is the imagery. Perhaps one of the most overlooked movies ever? |
| User ReviewPriyu Kwhen it comes to matters of sex deception is everything, and everyone's a hypocrite, otto knows, and the tv program is hysterical |
| User ReviewJackson SPleasant, breezy little romantic comedy. Who knew Otto had it in him? |
| User ReviewRick LCute film. First time anyone said (ssshh, lower your voice) "virgin" on the screen. YIKES! Caused a real stir. |
| User ReviewPam RThis is one of my favorite old movies. David Niven is just terrific. Funny. |
| User ReviewMinu Fi love this movie, one of those films you can watch over and over again |
