The film tries hard to qualify for top marks in the naughty-but-nice category of comedy but a sense of strain and occasional coyness are drawbacks.

There's no chemistry between Gable, who's twice as old than love interest Sophia Loren in this lukewarm, utterly predictable culture clash comedy.

It's a quaint and pretty old movie, to be sure, but it's also more than a little boring.

...an aimless, thoroughly predictable waste of time masquerading as a romantic comedy.
