This is a good movie if you like old-fashioned, 50's style, bedroom farce, romantic comedies. Unfortunately, it was made in 1967 when films for adults were much more direct about sexuality, so this one was already out of date when it was released. It's a bit of nostalgia, but fun.

What I liked the most when I saw this on video last night was the fact that Sophia Loren, who by today's standards would be considered almost obese, was admired for her womanly shape, wit, grace and intelligence. She is absolutely stunning even when she wears Marlon Brando's character's pajamas.

This is Charles Chaplin's last film and I enjoyed his characteristic soundtrack music. It's filmed as a play with only a few sets.

What the world needs now and always is tolerance among people of different faiths. This sweet, charming film is a fine example of this principle. Rent it, buy it, see it. You won't be disappointed.

I saw this beautiful, little film on American television in the early 1960's. I've been searching for a video version or the screenplay or still photographs, or any other information available about the film, the film makers, cast and crew. I was raised a strict Catholic and never had an opportunity to meet a Jew until I was 17 years old. At age 30 I married a Jew. This film planted a seed in me that took decades to blossom and it was worth the wait. In my life, I've found that there is a special bond between Catholics and Jews, a spiritual resonance. This film introduced this concept to me and I've never forgotten it. This film helped shape my values and world view.
