Thank you for posting. This movie is having a bit of a Renaissance as Shirley McClains outfits are very trendy online right now. Its how i found this film
This was a current movie when this TV show was telecast . Shirley MacLaine played a modern woman going thru a host a different men . A project with Marilyn Monroe in mind originally .
At 6:30, the director was spot on about Van Dyke and Martin working together despite apparently different approaches . They should made a good team . They were both good at singing, dancing, and comedy. More importantly would have been both respectful of each other .
Odd movie; very episodic, not much plot. Great cast and wardrobe. Everyone thought this would be a smash hit...little did they know The Sound of Music was about to make movie history and swallow them whole.
