Very witty script. I had no idea that this movie existed.

Was flipping through the TV channels and settled on AMC, a channel that no longer runs black and white social comedies from the 30's through '50s.

I was delighted and surprised to find this Clifton Webb jewel. As a mother of two younger children (one ten months) it is difficult to find movies and TV shows that entertain both children and adults. This one fit the bill.

Ginger Rogers is incredibly well cast as the woman who is all for business and Webb is quite the comic.

What a great series this would have made if the TV execs had any brains. I was in high school when it aired and it was a magical mixture of romance and remembrance. Tim Daly has always been one of my favorite actors and this series was for the most part the biggest reason for that. Too bad it was canned. Wings was great but Tim really could have shined with this promo series. I can see that he is still busy with work, but I hjaven't seen him on the screen for years.

I wish I could stop typing but I need to fill ten lines of comment for this freaking comment to appear!!! Anyone else find that annoying?

I am sick of reality TV and I hope the execs are sick of these idiot cop shows and hospital series. TV is getting old.

Sirk's work played by light, whereas this production becomes increasingly darker with every scene. There are no unrealistically large windows in the house, there are no shots where there is a sunny day at ALL. It's like this film is banking on light deprivation to drive home it's incredibly depressing message.

It might be billed as a tribute, but I do not see where, unless you cannot see farther than the '50s setting. In fact I would call this a bit of Sirk retribution: no one is happy nor ever will be it seems. In Sirk's work, there was always a bright light, a way out, a love to live for by the end.

I like this movie, believe it or not, I just don't see the Sirk connection beyond the superficial agents of time and woe. If a Sirk tribute will be made again, I hope that a contemporary script would be offered, as Sirk wrote for HIS time.
