Producer-director Michael Curtiz’s femme fatale noir has a lot going for it — high production values, VistaVision, and new film talent in Tom Tryon, Carol Ohmart, Elaine Stritch & Jody Lawrance. Excellent location shooting and a Nat King Cole song provide authentic Los Angeles atmosphere. But the storyline is ten years out of date. The advertising promoted Ms. Ohmart as a new ’50s sex symbol. She may have caught fire, but the show didn’t.

Running Time: 2 hrs 2 mins
Rating: PG-13

Plot: In Los Angeles, a huge cast of characters fall in and out of love over the course of Valentine’s Day.
Who’S It For? Do you like your romantic comedies easy to digest? This is light, fluffy and easily forgotten.
Expectations: I never go into a romantic comedy expecting to see something great like When Harry Met Sally, Love Actually or Definitely Maybe. But those films and others are always in the back of my mind. Garry Marshall is the director behind Valentine’s Day as well as Georgia Rule and The Princess Diaries.
