I like the people in this movie. Dick Van Dyke never seems to have gotten anywhere here though. Angie Dickinson look good but seems a little wasted in this. David Doyle who would go on to fame in Charlies Angels is another player here with little to do.
This is a case where Garson Kanin appears to try to utilize Van Dykes potential to do physical comedy, but fails to write a coherent script to give the viewer any reason to watch this stuff. Heywood Hale Broun is smart enough to appear as himself so he can not take any blame for this.
I really do not understand how so many talented people could get together and make a bomb like this one. Part of it could be Garson Kanin's Direction as there seems to be no flow here. I am really at a loss to figure what happened, though a lot of men who remember Angie must envy Van Dyke getting a chance to do suggestive physical comedy with her in one sequence.
The trouble is that is the highlight of this movie.
