- Synopsis
- Jerry Kingsley (March) is a widower, a lonely but successful clothing manufacturer who falls in love with Betty Preisser (Novak), one of his employees. The employee-boss relationship is one hurdle the erstwhile couple have to overcome, another is the thirty-year difference in their ages, and the last is the attitudes of the couples' relatives -- each close relative (mother, daughter, sister) feels marginated by the relationship, left out in the cold, forgotten. These attitudes do not bode well for any future walk up the aisle.
