The only reason why this picture isn't awful is because of the beautiful baby boy. The baby definitely steals the film but there is only so much a baby can do. How many times can he utter the cute Dada?
Keenan Wynn and Hermione Gingold, two late gems of the screen, are given little to do here. Gingold walking around with a bird on her head in one scene could have been made funnier. She is the landlady who mildly accepts Warren Beatty's excuse for not coming up with the rent.
Even Bessie Love is thrown in in one scene as a customer in Wynn's store.
Cathleen Nesbitt has her moments as Bob Cummings hip British mother. Cummings who could act up a storm in comedies as the romantic interest, plays a child psychologist who doesn't want children of his own. More should have been made of this fact to enhance the comedy. Beatty, as the way-off neighbor of Leslie Caron,provides the comic relief, especially when he is constantly baby-sitting.
The ending is silly, but at least the widow Caron gets a husband! Basically, this is all silly, inane nonsense. The stars deserved a far better script.
