Viewing Notes

Such a goofy premise and totally a thing of its time but… goddamn Kim Novak. The main reason why I saved this one on TCM (Jim Garner being the second). She’s amazing but when she’s not on screen the movie plays like a little more naughty sixties Disney screwball comedy.

Fortunately Novak and Garner go a long way to make this entertaining.
