Steve McQueen wasn't known for his romantic roles . In fact he only briefly had romantic scenes in sone of his movies . This is as close to a romantic comedy that he ever made and even then , that description is pushing it .
Natalie Wood plays a salesclerk at Macy's department store , who finds herself pregnant after a one-night stand with a musician played by McQueen , who does not even remember her.
This is a really old fashioned film . The morals are of the time and this kind of film would feel really odd if it was made today.
It's all about doing the right thing and that's getting married no matter how much they like or love each other .
It's a bit of a slow burner. At times it has the feel of a soap opera or even an episode of a TV show.
There is no real spark on the screen between McQueen and Wood and that's probably because the script keeps them mostly physically apart .
It was interesting to see Tom Bosley play the would be boyfriend who is a clumsy oaf . He looks sixty years old even then , even though he was probably just in his thirties.
All in all this , is a very average unromantic unfunny comedy that I still found pretty watchable .
