| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzPoor Fred Astaire comes off the worst of all -- he's stuck as a fawning American embassy chief. |
| User ReviewJordan PThis was my second Kim Novak Movie. She is defiantly a babe. Fred Astaire and Jack Lemon played wonderful parts. I loved the storyline. I thought the movie was fun, silly and romantic. a very underated movie. |

| User ReviewCee DObscure but dark and hilarious movie. And when else would these three appear in the same film? |
| User ReviewKhanh DLes films de Quine sont si forts... Sublimer le mystère féminin par les raccourcis parfois les plus triviaux. Exceptionnel |
| User ReviewAndy GAmazingly entertaining. I absolutely fell in love with Kim Novak in this film. |
| User ReviewJennifer MGood comedy and very fun to watch. The end is a little much, though. |
| User ReviewK DThis was a pretty enjoyable film. It carried an interesting storyline and was a little different than the typical comedic lovestory. Interesting to see Fred Astaire in a more down to earth role and Kim Novak was always able to pull of the mysterious woman role rather well. I thought the movie carried well until the end, where it just seemed to lose all reality and calm. Overall, I still liked this one! |
| User ReviewEvan HI saw most of this movie - I really wish to see the entire thing - and it was really good. Although the plot is rather complex, the overall story is compeling. |
