American heel-to-toe competitor in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics cajoles his way into a flat occupied by an attractive working girl and her "roommate", a chipper British corporate executive who couldn't find other lodgings in over-crowded Japan. After a swift, bouncy start, this lackluster comedy seems to lose inspiration quickly, mostly due to the initial set-up compromised by the arrival of the American dullard (Jim Hutton, pulling a Dean Jones). The film is a remake of a 1943 picture ("The More The Merrier"), and sadly it plays like 1943 as well. There is so much lovely chemistry and interplay between Cary Grant and Samantha Eggar in the early scenes, this might've been a totally different (and improved) movie if played as a duet. But once the boy moves in, and the girl's fiancé gets jealous, and the kids are accused of being spies...well, it's not half as bad as Grant being forced into the third-wheel position, playing Fairy Godfather. Quincy Jones provided a nice score, and a few of the running gags are cute, but otherwise this is very tired work. No wonder Grant retired from movies immediately afterward. ** from ****
