And this comes from someone who likes Don Ameche and Angie Dickinson....... Bad writing, bad direction, bad acting, bad use of Angie. The ending is a cherry on top of the turd. Just about everyone in the movie has passed, so I will observe the "no speaking ill of the dead" rule. If you happen to catch this on TCM (as I did), assume you will consider it as two hours of unrecoverable life moments. So, if you are home sick, depressed beyond comprehension, drunk, or in need of background noise while you do something more useful, then by all means, watch this. If you have a choice of this flick or hernia surgery, I suggest you fully research the surgery before jumping to any conclusions. The anesthesia and pain killers may make the surgery a better bet.........
