good review, 5 June 2003
Author: Hojean from USA

I enjoyed seeing Leslie Nielson as a young man, and was quite taken with him...I love him in everything he's in, even as a bad guy! He does better in comedy than drama, though, in my opinion. Shirley MacLaine was beautiful, and her voice sounded higher than it did in "Two Mules for Sister Sara", the western she was in with Clint Eastwood.
