I love old movies and Marilyn Monroe's movies too, except this one. This movie is pointless, slow going and so, so bad that it seems the only reason this movie was made was probably because the actors needed a buck. Unless you are an insomniac or love to spent an evening being bored and /or wasting your time, skip this movie.
