BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

ksf-2 Smoking hot cast list, they are sadly under-used. LOVE helen broderick. so fun. she got all the good, wisecracker lines in films. Monty Wooley is in it for five seconds, and that's an uncredited role. And of course, our star, a young thirty year old Fred MacMurrary. The script has weird timing. Lots of talking. Has the feel of a film based on a play. The first five minutes is a window washer gag, that doesn't really have anything to do with the story. The script kind of goes all over the place. Some fun, clever lines. Boy (MacMurray) finally meets girl (Madeleine Carroll), and spends the middle part of the film trying to find her again. Drama, intrigue. Directed by Edward Griffith. Griffith's specialty was making films about fun, exotic, far-away lands, which were probably really filmed in California, sometimes the Bahamas. There's a five minute bit where MacMurray plays piano and "sings" in a foreign language; pretty painful. Then Allen Jones sings for a couple minutes, also pretty painful, serious stuff. Should have left the musical numbers out. Such great actors in here... Script needed jazzing up. Fun to watch just for the actors in it. Story ain't no big thang.

arfdawg-1 Also called My Love for Yours.Bill Burnett, a resident of Bali, visits New York City, meets and falls in love with Gail Allen, the successful manager of a Fifth Avenue shop, who is determined to remain free and independent. Bill proposes, Gail declines and Bill goes home to Bali. But a young girl, Rosie, and Tony the Window Cleaner, who dispels advice on every floor, soon have Gail thinking maybe she was a bit hasty with her no to Bill's proposal. Ere long she discovers that she does love Bill and can't live without him. She goes down to Bali to give him the good news. He learns that he is soon to marry Noel Van Ness. She goes back to New York City. Or does she?It's a trite well done film that is easily watched.

Patricia Hammond What an enjoyable piece of fluff. Though I'd say it was a bit more than a piece of fluff, really, as there is subtlety galore, and philosophy, and irreverence and some macabre/screwball humour when the love rival for Fred MacMurray says in an offhand way that she'd attempted suicide but then got married, but then found it hard to be sad when her husband was killed playing polo... That kind of humour would raise eyebrows even today! Alan Jones sings his manly heart out while wearing a pencil moustache, and Madeleine Carroll says some very clever and deep things about the nature of female independence. You can tell that the actress really thought these lines were quite wise and put a lot of feeling into them, even though the film is at pains to prove the opposite view. Likewise subtle is the fact that MacMurray is a bit of a cad, not a straightforward hero. I actually hated him for a good few minutes. The small roles are played with great skill and elan, particularly the fortune teller with her blithe, witty delivery and of course Window-cleaner philosopher Akim Tamiroff, whom I ended up applauding out loud for his sheer verve, and the comedy and character he packs into each gesture. The fly in the ointment, to this cow-poke anyway, is the truly cringeworthy little girl. Ugh! You can just see her pushy mother urging her on to become the next Shirley Temple. Sorry dear, that requires talent, not just a shrill voice and a pudgy face.

aguilaranch I also found this movie at a $1.00 bin. What a beautiful surprise! The movie was quick,romantic,funny,with an intelligent plot. The characters were all individually unique, from the window washer,fortune teller, to the singing telegram boy. I love little Rosie so much in this movie I tried looking up her biography. The emotion conveyed in this movie lead me to watch it over and over again. Each scene can stand alone. The intrigue with the fortune teller's predictions, Allan Jones' voice was marvelous. Fred MacMurray's acting continues to amaze me. His character has such sex appeal and magnetism. It makes me wonder how many of these movies are out there that haven't been seen.
