Just ok skip this and see the cary
Almost worth it for one scene
This film is an atypical 50's farce, and with that in mind it is mildly entertaining. The best scene, and it is worth watching it to see this one line, is when the upstairs neighbor comes down to the working Tom Ewell, Rita Moreno is wonderfully seductive and reminds Tom that this reminds her of a movie she saw, where the beautiful neighbor comes down to see the man who's wife is away (if you know Tom Ewell, you know what movie she's talking about). Tom looks up from his typewriter and with a wonderful deadpan says "I didn't see that movie." Okay, I love a good inside joke. The rest is just 50's movie silliness ... like I said, it is entertaining.
