I read the original novel "Drei MŠnner I'm Schnee" many years ago when I was an undergrad at my university and thought at the time it would make a fun movie. To my great delight I watched "Paradise for Three" not knowing it was adapted from that book and was more than pleased when I recognized the story. Frank Morgan was always one of my favorite actors, Robt Young was at his youthful and handsome best and Ms Rice was, as could only be expected, exceptionally beautiful as Tobler's daughter. The manager and butler at the hotel were classic and hilarious -- a more appropriate cast would have been difficult to assemble.

I doubt if today's youth would appreciate such a movie, but those of us who like the old ones definitely would. What a shame to realize that the setting was Vienna in 1938, a city destined to be overrun by Hitler's hordes and its society shattered within 2 years.

that was vastly under-appreciated by both the network and the viewing public. I am particularly angry at the network for dumping it without giving it a chance to catch on. It was written tongue-in-cheek by someone with a delightful sense of humor, and was so classically silly that it was both camp and genuinely funny.

Julia Duffy was particularly good as the goofy princess and the plots were well conceived and singularly well directed. For some reason, the series was never rerun nor were video tapes ever made available to the purchasing public. One gets the feeling that the people who made the decision to cancel Wizards and Warriors were the same people who decided in 1964 that Star Trek would never attract a decent following and determined to dump it after a single season.
