Second Remake--first two were better.
12 November 2002
This film was first made in the 1930's with Jimmy Stewart. -- Then in the 40's, as a musical with Judy Garland (In the Good Old Summertime.) Both previous versions were better; especially the musical.

A major problem with this version is the "modern" twist that the two main characters were both living with someone with whom there was absolutely no commitment, or even love, when the story opened. The fact that there were no overt sex scenes seems to have been done to make it more acceptable for the younger crowd. Few critics seemed to have warned parents of this assault on moral values.

Other than that, just another lightweight comedy with good actors giving their customary performances.
