One of the weaker Crawford-Gable pairings, 4 September 2000
4/10
Author: nickandrew from PA

Rather dull and tiresome romantic triangle once again pairing Gable and Crawford. Joan plays a socialite who falls for dashing Gable on a cruise, but she has husband Kruger waiting for her back home. One highlight is trying to spot a young Mickey Rooney early in the film, playing in a swimming pool.
