James Garner as a high-flying businessman. Natalie Wood as the daughter of Dean Jagger, who built a plastics company.
Wood looks like she isn't old enough to vote yet has a hideous harido that makes her look like she's 38. Garner doesn't have enough edge to be convincing as a tycoon. Jagger character comes across as a naive doofus.
I didn't care about their romance. It all seemed so forced. Very little chemistry. And that flashback scene after they fly to Aurora Valley, talk about clumsy writing.
On the other hand, Natalie wood in a wet dress by the fireplace? Va-Va-Voom.
If there was supposed to be comedy in here somewhere I didn't see any.
I think it's possible they shot a warmed-over script from 1940. A bad one.
