Good stuff from Minnelli and Bacall with Peck filling in admirably for Cary Grant. A mob-trouble sportswriter meets a fashion designer, and their domestic bliss is thwarted by various mobsters, ex-girlfriends, and perhaps neuroses. One bit that has a seemingly feminist dancer pull out a picture of his three sons to prove his manhood reminds one perhaps of Minnelli himself -- particularly when he turns out to be a karate expert in a particularly fun and well-staged fight scene.
