8/10
Another forgotten gem!
27 May 2010
Without going over the plot again, the other reviewers have covered that adequately, I'd just like to say that any comedy with Robert Cummings in the lead is worth a look, as in my opinion he was in the top 5 of all screen comedy actors, along with the likes of Grant, MacMurray,Niven etc. A fine dramatic actor also, but comedy was his forte! 'The First Time' was made around the time Cummings moved into television, and along with another film he made around that time called 'Marry Me Again', has been largely forgotten, which is a pity, as they are both very funny films, and far more deserving of a new life on DVD, than many that have been granted that status! If you get a chance to see it, or, can find a 'bootleg' copy, as I did, you won't be disappointed!
