This movie has to be one of the best romantic comedies ever made. It's got a stellar cast, great writing, gorgeous scenery, fabulous clothes and a beautiful score. What more could you want? Glenn Ford and Hope Lange's chemistry is very believable. They generate sparks together from the beginning. Charles Boyer is charming in his role and makes a potentially sleazy character into a delight. I think Ford's performance makes this movie, though. His subtle acting style turns what might have been a silly, frothy, forgettable movie into a warm-hearted romance that stands the test of time. I am so in love with this movie and I think those who get a chance to see it will be, too!
