although I love Marilyn Monroe but personally I didn't enjoy this film. it was everywhere but whenever she came on the screen i enjoyed it. other than that, its not that good.

im a bit like that too, you can watch it but don't expect to be frilled by it.
shareAt least it is fairly short and digestible. I found Za Za Gabor unbearable to watch - not the greatest actress, and the guy who played her husband was annoying. The difference with early Marilyn with that a few years later is astounding! Just shows what colour film did for her - she always looked so amazing in technicolour.
shareHer figure was so adorable.
But, I agree with the OP. It was a bit disappointing.
Pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space 'cos its bugger all down here on Earth.
I liked Marilyn in this particularly because she talks like a regular person,
without that breathless baby-doll affect that directors insisted upon in "All
About Eve" and "Some Like it Hot". I guess people found that sexy in the 50's.
"Could be worse."
"Howwww?"
"Could be raining."
i found it to be quite cute
shareI'll admit I initally watched it because of Marilyn's presence and was disappointed that she hadn't a larger role and that there wasn't a more cohesive story but I still enjoyed it for what it was. It's a pleasant, sunday afternoon type movie.
shareI bought the DVD because of Ginger Rogers, and she certainly didn't disappoint me, since she was brilliant and funny as usual. Sadly, I can't say the same about the rest of the cast/film (except perhaps for Eve Arden, who's always amusing and enjoyable to watch).

Agree with the last poster - Rogers and (especially) Fred Allen were
hilarious, unquestionably the sharpest couple/story. Arden and Douglas
were also amusing, but the rest of this film was almost unbearable. I've
never seen Louis Calhern this awful, and Gabor is useless. And the
final segment was so dull, I kept nodding off. The script, as well as
the idiotic Eddie Bracken were like Ambien in a DVD player. Zzzzzzzzz...
Monroe's section is useless and pointless. A very, very uneven film.

Listen, I'm a gay guy, and Bracken almost turns me heterosexual.
By the way, is that a pic of you? If so, you are HOT.
LOL, same here. If most men were like him, I'd be into girls, that's for sure.
And yes, that's me. Thank you very much!

I enjoyed this film. I felt the basic concept was original and fairly well executed. The cast and the writing (by Nunnally Johnson, a highly regarded screenwriter) was very good.
I am no fan of Eddie Bracken but here I felt his presence wasn't detrimental. Due to the format (five separate scenarios) no one performer could have too much to do. Because of this those that are looking for a Marilyn Monroe film will probably be disappointed.
Not a comic gem but certainly worth seeing at least once.
agree, very forgettable movie, not one memorable scene/dialogue/line in the entire movie
5/10
so many movies, so little time
