Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I saw this as a young man at a new theater that just opened near my home in 1969. The problem most critics have, is they do not realize that many movies are just what they were made to be, ENTERTAINMENT, people! Not only was this a great story, but to see two people coming to grips with the bad choices in their lives, and trying to make it right. It did not hurt that it was riotously funny as well. Jack Lemmon and Catherine Deneuve were at the top of their game as well. Check this one out for great laughs, and a overall feel good time!

I fell in love with Catherine Deneuve as a result of this movie. had never seen or heard about her before I saw it.Very shallow I know, But I was 16 when I first saw this. The movie was well acted and is a pretty good send up of the the modern man and state of marriage, even back then. Jack Lemon plays a very good neurotic amoral business man searching for more meaning to his life, the constant American existential dilemma. Like all sixties movies, it seems to promote a consequence free way out. That in itself is worth the watching, just to make you think.Catherine is absolutely stunning and steals every scene she is in. How many of us don't want to just take off?

My all-time favourite movie. Great Story, well filmed, superb cast, and captured the artificial attitudes of the 1960's perfectly.Jack Lemmon played the part of Howard Brubaker and, as always expected of Jack, he was great.Catherine Deneuve proved that her natural beauty is not just skin deep and who would have thought that She and Jack Lemmon would be such a resounding success together.Peter Lawford played Peter Lawford, as usual, very well and, was perfectly cast for the role of Gunther.Supporting cast were great and, since this early appearance of Kenneth Mars, why have we not seen more of him?

Critics often get it wrong and this movie is proof of that. If you watch this movie in the cold and analytical way that critics often do you will see its countless flaws. But if you do this you will also miss its warmth,charm the masterly performances of its cast and a super sixties Bacharach theme song. I urge people to see it and make up their own mind. My guess is you won't fail to be touched.
