Written by John Gay (novel Mark Toby), and anticipating Sleepless in Seattle, Eddy (confidently played by Ronny Howard) wants his dad Glenn Ford to get remarried - not to snooty Dina Merrill but to their lovely neighbour (who keeps leaving her door open - see - Freudian invitation) Shirley Jones. In a baggy sub-plot Stella Stevens is romanced by womaniser Jerry Van Dyke (Dick's brother); best bit when she plays the drums. Roberta Sherwood (better known as a singer) is the housekeeper.
Quite long but enjoyable. Being at MGM, Milton Krasner flashes the Metrocolor reds.
