A wholesome if rather obviously-plotted comedy about the disaster-prone romance of a widow (with three sons and an enormous Old English sheepdog) and a widower with a teenage daughter and a French poodle. Their numerous troubles seem largely of their own making, but nonetheless it's fun, with a good chase sequence, and some nice comic 'bits' from Alice Ghostley (as a nutty housekeeper), Pat Caroll (as heroine Doris Day's wisecracking sister) and George Carlin as a smart Alec hamburger stand operator. It was Day's last film before moving on to her enormously successful TV series, and one of six unsuccessful scripts selected for Doris by her ailing producer husband, Martin Melcher, in the last years of his life. He actually died before this one was released.
