JohnHowardReid A spirited script and streamlined cast, abetted by sumptuous sets and smart costumes, do much to stem David Swift's occasionally sluggish direction in this entertaining, lavishly produced farce. Ulla Jacobsson keeps all her clothes on, but manages to look even more enticing than she did in "One Summer of Happiness". Even Ricardo Montalban is surprisingly effective. The entire film was photographed (and recorded) on location in the Riviera and as most of the scenes take place indoors or in cramped confines (Boyer's jacket), some fearful difficulties have been overcome. Indeed, sound and photography are only slightly below the slickest Hollywood standard.U.K. release title: "All This and Money Too".

moonspinner55 Director David Swift also co-wrote this harmless movie-adaptation of Lindsay Hardy's book "The Grand Duke and Mr. Pimm" about an American heiress on the French Riviera unknowingly set up by a marriage broker to fall in love with a handsome, klutzy Duke; unfortunately for all, he's secretly in love with the broker's secretary and she has eyes for a temporarily-grounded boat captain, now working for the matchmaker in confidence. Despite lush locations, the picture doesn't look as marvelous as it should--nor do the comically mad circumstances sparkle like the plots of those nutty romantic outings of the 1930s. Still, the cast makes the most of it, with leads Glenn Ford and Hope Lange (then a dating twosome in real life) enjoying terrific chemistry. First-rate supporting work from Ricardo Montalban, Charles Boyer, Telly Savalas and character actor John Wood, who disappears after the first-third. **1/2 from ****

thebaldguy The real reason to see this movie is the CARS. Shot in the early 60's, I actually remember seeing a promo on the Carson show. It takes place during the Grand Prix, but in addition to the race cars, you can see what are now classics, 3500 GT Spyder Maserati, 300SL cabriolet, Rolls Royce cabriolet, 50's Corvette, Mercedes gullwing, the list just goes on. For any REAL car nut, this movie is a gem!

david Tremendously entertaining and fun romantic comedy, set on the Riviera, filmed in warm sunshine with a top cast of real professionals. Saw it at the Royal in San Francisco, 3-31-63; co-feature was the Stewart Granger swashbuckler SWORDSMAN OF SIENA. Walked to the theatre from my apartment on a pleasant evening, for a comfortable evening at the movies, in a well appointed neighborhood house, for which I had a Pass. In the old days, one could expect a good time at the movies most times out, and always get value for money. In my case, it was a cinch
