A worthy film, even if I guessed the ending after I'd read a brief summary of the plot. No doubt showing the theatrical origins, several scenes seemed to go and on and could have done with some editing. As has already been remarked, sometimes the cast seemed about to break into song.
I don't know what ages the characters were meant to be, but Katharine Hepburn was some 14 years older than Lloyd Bridges and 20 more than Earl Holliman. Ironically I thought that Lizzie was quite attractive - slim figure, agile, appealing personality - and it was hard to credit that she'd only been kissed once. But I guess it was difficult to find a plain actress who could carry off the role effectively, most fitting this description being only "character" players.
Burt Lancaster lit up all the scenes in which he appeared - but then he always did, whatever the role.
