Storyline

Anna Kalman is an accomplished actress who has given up hope of finding the man of her dreams. She is in the middle of taking off her face cream, while talking about this subject with her sister, when in walks Philip Adams. She loses her concentration for a moment as she realizes that this is the charming, smart, and handsome man she has been waiting for. They begin a love-at-first-sight relationship, but she finds out that he has been keeping a secret from her. When she learns of his lie, she becomes furious and works out a plan for revenge.

Goofs

When Anna and Philip arrive back at Anna's apartment after their first date Anna lights the fireplace. First the flames are abundant and high yet moments later when the camera cuts as they talk and walk around the living room the flames are barely noticeably. However as the camera pulls out showing Anna alone in her living room, when Philip has left, the high flames have returned and the fire is roaring once again.

User Reviews

Cary!Bergman!

Average romance/comedy made above average by the mere presence of two legendary movie stars.The story moves along quite slow but romance comedy fans will be rewarded during the second part of the movie as the complications stir up the energy a bit.The script and screenplay could have been much better but the cinematography,despite limited settings,was good enough to capture the charm of the two lead superstars.Only for fans of the lead stars and big fans of romance/comedy movies.......
