    • Quotes

      Ellen Manville: I've always been lonely, Harry. You see, on the one had I possess a cold, calculating mind, sharp as a razor, incisive, penetrating, and men are afraid of that. It's a threat to their feelings of masculine superiority; my power of analysis, my photographic memory. They resent all that.

      Harry Berlin: Yeah. Well some men are like that.

      Ellen Manville: Ask me a question, Harry.

      Harry Berlin: Eh?

      Ellen Manville: Ask me a question.

      Harry Berlin: Um, how many states did Al Smith win in the election in 1928?

      Ellen Manville: In 1928, the presidential candidate Alfred E. Smith won eight states: Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

      Harry Berlin: You're right. I resent that.

      Ellen Manville: You see!

    7/10
    Very light-hearted fare
    Though a fan, Jack Lemmon's schtick did wear really thin at times. Though Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk (big fan), Elaine May, and Nina Wayne, along with the scenery and sets (love the 60s/70s), manage to hold it together. 8 stars for good to great. 7 could be good but had some fault(s), in this case, Jack Lemmon's character quirks (not very different from the Felix Unger character).
