A wonderfully happy movie. Maurice Chevalier was so much fun to watch that I wish I could see this movie again and again., 6 January 1999
10/10
Author: Heav6m from St. Louis, MO

This is a light hearted comedy that simply sparkles. Maurice Chevalier was continually humorous and made the whole movie work. Sandra Dee, who played the loyal granddaughter, did an excellent job. Robert Goulet & Andy Williams were just the right blend together on screen. It's too bad this movie is out of print now. Hopefully, in the near future, this wonderful movie will be shown again and I'll be right there watching it!
