Synopsis
“James Stewart Reunites with his Harvey Director, Henry Koster, in this 1962 Comedy, which is Charming Enough Even Though It does Not Seem Quite Up to the Talent Involved. The Screen Writer is the Legendary Nunnally Johnson, Writer and Director of The Three Faces of Eve, among Many Other Titles, and the Music is by Henry Mancini. But it is Pleasant, Summery Entertainment with Stewart and his Screen Wife, Maureen O Hara, Taking their Urban Family to A Crumbling, Sea Side House for A Vacation. The Film was Calculated to Pull In Older Fans with Stewart As Well as Draw In A Younger Crowd that would Enjoy the Fairly Extensive Beach Scenes with Pop Star Fabian. Stewart is Deft with the Easy Jokes about Bad Plumbing and Such, and Golden in Several Nice Moments where he Gets to Play an Attentive Dad to his Kids.”
