Enjoyed this story filmed in New York City involving a man named Jerry Kingsley, ( Fredric March) who owned a garment business in lower Manhattan. Jerry had recently lost his wife of many years and his family and friends wanted him to go out and meet other women. Jerry becomes interested in a very beautiful young blonde gal named Betty Preisser, (Kim Novak) who works in his office, and Betty is so young she could be his daughter. Once the family finds out about this relationship they strongly object, however, Betty and Jerry have the problem of finding out just what they want to do with their love and should they proceed and get married despite the difference in age. Great film, excellent acting and a gem of a story.
