I agree with you MissMargoChanning! I didn't buy the romance and I didn't like the movie. Once again, Jack Lemmon played the same obnoxious character he always plays in every movie he's in and June Allyson. Oh, June Allyson, basically she's the female version of Jack - annoying! She also has the voice factor. Whether she's singing or just talking her voice is irritating; not a very pleasant experience for my years.
I don't think Jack and June have any chemistry and I have no idea why, with all the fresh faces in Hollywood, they would cast these thirty-somethings in these roles that were clearly meant to be played by younger actors. It changes the whole premise of the movie. If an almost forty year old woman has to be rescued by her father for making the wrong choice for a husband, something's wrong.
At that age, it just seems desperate and pathetic. Of course she's going to latch on to the next guy that comes along. Oh wow, how romantic (that's sarcasm if you didn't get it). Oh yeah, why the hell is that room so damned pink? Is she five? It's just bad; really, really bad. It's crazy how they think they can dress her in 'young looking outfits' and have her play a character who's about twenty years younger.
Jack Lemmon who is a bit younger also seems way too old for the part. Then again I think he always seemed much older than his age. There's nothing youthful about him. I'm not even going to compare them to the original movie. This is bad all on its own; even if there had never been an original. If things weren't bad enough, they added music. LOLOLOLOL, ridiculous! I'd better stop; I think I've made my point: I HATED it and yes, I can run away from it.
Woman, man! That's the way it should be Tarzan. [Tarzan and his mate]
