Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
rodrig58 It's an absolutely charming film, directed and filmed in a more than professional way, admirable played by all the actors. Unfortunately, and once again unfortunately, the gorgeous and unique woman in the history of the world, MM, has only a small role. But, so small, Marilyn is an absolute delight in all aspects: personality, acting, physical beauty. In the main roles and therefore with the most time on the screen, the almost completely unknown June Haver and William Lundigan. The one who steals the film with a seductive role (as in real life, being married to Barbara Stanwyck, Gladys Buchanan, Betty Kean and Frances White) is Frank Fay.
edwagreen Despite a madcap ending, we have a fairly good film here showing a returning vet finds that his wife has bought an apartment building and we meet quite an array of tenants living there.We see a well-meaning landlord who is soon confronted with a variety of expenses and a real wily new tenant who turns out to be a charmer while being a notorious lover who charms wealthy women out of vast sums of money. Of course, he finds true love in the building and marries one of the tenants and for their age, what happens at the end is quite incredible, yet alone against the laws of biology!William Lundigan and June Haver have the main roles. Of all people, Jack Paar shows up as a lawyer-friend of theirs and it's still a rather benign Marilyn Monroe as an army buddy of Lundigan.Good film to show the expenses that landlords have to go through.
zsenorsock Rather forgettable sit-com story that wouldn't be worth watching at all if not for the fact Marilyn Monroe is in the film. She's fine in her sexy "army buddy" role of Billie. But the script by I.A.L. Diamond (frequent collaborator with Billy Wilder) is pedestrian at best, without a genuine laugh in the whole film. It is easily the weakest of the four Marilyn Monroe films Diamond wrote.The rest of the cast is mostly forgettable. Frank Fay is not as interesting as one might have hoped in the role of the serial womanizer and June Haver is less than memorable as the star of the film. Only Monroe has that certain charismatic screen presence that demands we watch her--especially as she gets undressed--takes a shower and wears a towel! As for the rest of the film, this nest is bare.
rollo_tomaso This is one of those forced early-'50's sex comedies without the sex. Lundigan is contrived and insipid, and Marilyn Monroe is totally miscast as his old Army buddy, Bobby Stephens. Henry Kulky provides the movie's only truly interesting character. When he is on-screen, he is making a different-and-better movie than the rest of the players.
