Civic Irresponsibility *
14 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Terrible how the talents of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were wasted in this nonsensical film.

Without the space complication, this could have easily been a film in the 1930s with Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant playing up against Myrna Loy or Jean Arthur.

Joan Collins is her usual temptress in trying to break up a marriage and Jack Carson is the idiotic captain along with the more rational Gale Gordon in this farce.

The July 4 Grace (Woodward) plans for the town are disastrous which best describes the film. The parting of Carson to the moon at the end is equally ridiculous.

The film proves that civic responsibility and breaking up a marriage don't really together.
