One thing that distinguishes this film from any prior source material (Hungarian play, Hollywood movie, Hollywood musical, Broadway musical) is that both main characters are in relationships while they flirt with each other. The leads in all other versions were single. The idea of infidelity does come up in all but the Hollywood musical, but it's such a terrible transgression that the characters involved are duly punished for it. See more »

The clock behind the counter in Kathleen's store reads exactly 4:30 through the entire 2 minutes plus when Joe is purchasing the books. It shows different times in other scenes, so it's not stopped. See more »
Romantic comedies are not everyone's cup of tea; after all, who would want to watch unrealistic stories about ordinary people 'coupling' when we are offered such wonderful everyday experiences as ten car pileups, hordes of people being slaughtered in a hail of bullets while shopping, goblins, explosions, vampires and intergalactic spaceships?
But the majority of women, and many of those men who do not see themselves as the Governor of California will surely find much to like in this charming eye-moistener.
Tales of this ilk can easily be mawkish, but this one largely avoids the trap, thanks to an intelligent script, the believability of the lead pair (as well as the supporting cast) and good pacing that leaves the denouement until the closing shot.
