This story is about an aging movie star and her daughter who fall for the same a young man. Hedy Lamarr was 44 at the time and still looked good,George Nader is badly miscast as the young man ,he was a mature looking 37 and is supposed to be something like 25. His character is basicaly a bum,he doesnt work and even though he is supposedly a struggling actor spends his days mostly lying on his girlfriends couch. However he continiously protests to his moviestar girlfriend that he doesnt want to be thought as a kept man and that it bothers him what people will think of him. One would think that a man like that would have looked for some sort of work before protesting.,Jane Powell is supposedly a teenager but was 29 at the time and looks it. The age thing is of great importance in ths movie because the whole story is about which one of the two women it will make some sense for the man to choose. The way this movie is cast Nader makes a fine couple with Lamarr and looks completely ridiculous with the lively spirited little girl Powell plays.
