Cary Grant is as magically urbane as ever in his final movie, but, sadly, leaves the romance to the youngsters in this so-so comedy set during the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. Samantha Eggar plays the embassy secretary with whom British industrialist Grant lodges, and Jim Hutton the member of the American Olympic squad he introduces into her life. A remake of the 1943 film The More the Merrier, it's lower on laughs but notable for Grant's sleek charm, though as a matchmaker he isn't a patch on Barbra Streisand in Hello, Dolly!.

Witless reprise of The More the Merrier, notable only for the Tokyo backgrounds and for Cary Grant's farewell appearance.

Pure saturday afternoon entertainment!
What a fab, fun movie! It's simple, simply makes you smile. Totally frivolous and enjoyable! I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed it, in a very simple, light-hearted way.

Typical Sixties Film
Although you can class this film as a typical sixties corny comedy. It does have its moments and Cary Grant is always worth watching. I don't think however that it is one of his best.
