Tony Brown (Peter Lawford) gets shot in the butt during a hunting trip. Nurse Katie McDermad (Jane Greer) and surgeon Jeff Chadwick (Gig Young) are two of his caretakers. Brown is a big money contributor to the hospital. "Do you know who I am?" Lucille Brown (Rita Corday) is his gold-digging ex-wife.

It's a thin line between love and hate. At least, that's what Hollywood likes to believe. Brown needs to be less hateful and angry at the beginning. He could get easy sympathy by playing up the pain of getting shot in the butt. It's funny and a good excuse to be angry-funny. That's what's missing from that first meet-cute. It needs to be cuter. He does slip in some good sex humor but he's also too mean at times. On the second side of triangle, Dr. Jeff is too arrogant and too straight. He needs to push harder on the humor or be much more arrogant and stiff if he plays the bad side of the triangle. Jane Greer seems to be the only one who hits the bullseye consistently. She's sly. She's sarcastic. She's able to make this work despite the a few bad notes from the other performers although I don't like her with either man. That's where the meet-cute with Brown is so important. This has the potential of a good standard rom-com but the execution is a little off.
