It was made when I was just a teenager, when everything was not yet always filmed in color! I had never seen it before, but the Henry Mancini song was very well known. Not exactly a screwball comedy but it comes close. Glen Ford and Geraldine Page are perfect together. A great romantic comedy from the "old" days. A chance meeting between two very lonely middle aged people in NYC. Angela Lansbury swoops in at the end with a short but effective performance, as the worst woman in the world for Glen Ford not to marry! Look also for many well-known character actors from movies of this time.
As I didn't like a few aspects of the story, it's only a nine. However, Ms. Lake is more bewitching than 'Liz Montgomery and Kim Kovak combined. Onl 4' 11' and a real knockout! Too bad she died so young at age 51. What a talent she was!
Has a mean streak running through it! The U.S. government wants to exploit this creature and when it can't figure out how, wants to destroy it. The real monsters in this film are the humans. Watch and enjoy it. A terrible ending that works out just fine. Let's here it for "interspecies" dating!
