Amable comedia de aire soñador y de fachada romántica que enseguida nos embauca con su juego de enredos al que no le falta una pincelada de humor negro.
Situaciones divertidas, diálogos ocurrentes y lances estrafalarios se combinan para que D. Van Dyke y J. Garner demuestren su excelente faceta de actores cómicos.
Un buen tono cinematográfico, una narrativa fluida y un ritmo adecuado sitúan a la historia en su contexto idóneo.
Ocurrencias ingeniosas y detalles de indudable colorido argumental proporcionan a N. Jewison una excelente ocasión para desarrollar la trama con elegancia y exquisito gusto.
