A spirited script and streamlined cast, abetted by sumptuous sets and smart costumes, do much to stem David Swift's occasionally sluggish direction in this entertaining, lavishly produced farce. Ulla Jacobsson keeps all her clothes on, but manages to look even more enticing than she did in "One Summer of Happiness". Even Ricardo Montalban is surprisingly effective. The entire film was photographed (and recorded) on location in the Riviera and as most of the scenes take place indoors or in cramped confines (Boyer's jacket), some fearful difficulties have been overcome. Indeed, sound and photography are only slightly below the slickest Hollywood standard.U.K. release title: "All This and Money Too".

Another Sunday evening blunder...when will I learn? Ah, the sins of my old age! This film has everything! Bad lighting,stiff, embarrassing performances--a prancing, mincing Kojak? (Telly Savalas)...Glenn Ford with a crankcase of oil in his hair...obviously, the script had been flung in the air, and the pages re-assembled haphazardly.The 50's diner lettering in the credits should have been a warning to me. But, fatigue,unfavorable sports results, conspired to lower my TQ(Taste Quotient) I realize this is marginally a review and more a cri de la coeur, but I cannot accurately describe a plot so contrived, so smirking, so typical of movies of that period. The Hudson/Day comedies seem like Ingmar Bergman gems in comparison.The only surprise came at the end, when this cinematic disaster "thanked" a handful of locations, institutions who had cause for a lawsuit for injury to their reputations.

The real reason to see this movie is the CARS. Shot in the early 60's, I actually remember seeing a promo on the Carson show. It takes place during the Grand Prix, but in addition to the race cars, you can see what are now classics, 3500 GT Spyder Maserati, 300SL cabriolet, Rolls Royce cabriolet, 50's Corvette, Mercedes gullwing, the list just goes on. For any REAL car nut, this movie is a gem!

It's a number of things... We have a really fine cast; Glenn Ford in top form, very good supporting co-stars, an exotic setting (for most of us!), and a romantic plot.I think this is a movie that will make you feel good, and it's without any violence or malice at all.My only "problem" with this film is that it's a number of years since I last saw it...If ***YOU*** know how to get hold of a copy, please let me know!P.S. Have you seen "The Sheepman" (also a Glenn Ford unforgettable).
