Somewhat entertaining. With stars like Brando and Loren

Somewhat entertaining. With stars like Brando and Loren under Chaplin’s direction, it’s a letdown. Made in ’67 but feels like ’47 — a safe romantic comedy that’s bland to the core. The leads don’t spark much chemistry, and the script, with the direction, comes off repetitive and disconnected. Watchable, but mediocre at best.

Dry performances, weak dialogue, not very interesting shots

Dry performances, weak dialogue, not very interesting shots, and choppy editing. This film suffers from someone trying too hard to make something.

Chaplin's last film was a valiant attempt at

Chaplin's last film was a valiant attempt at an old fashioned, romantic comedy. Two problems: This was 1967 and compared to other releases that year (The Graduate, The Trip, The Producers, Valley Of The Dolls, etc) the film was hopelessly dated. Plus, Marlon Brando was completely miscast as the romantic lead. In a part which should have had a boyant Cary Grant or Rock Hudson play the part of the handsome, American diplomat, we get a mumbling Marlon Brando. Chaplin's directing style had been to play the part in rehearsal and expect his actors to pick up on all the nuances. This is hardly Brando's "method" style so, by the time of the shoot, he seemed to be just going through the motions in a flat and colorless way. However, Sophia Loren, who was more open to Chaplin's directional style, was much more successful in her part. The film is more of a curio than anything else. Not an awful, unwatchable film, but an example of the individual pieces not quite fitting together properly. On the bright side, the Chaplin-composed music is a delight and a top 10 worldwide hit from the film emerged: "This Is My Song" performed by Petula Clark.
