Disappointing Doris Day-Jack Lemmon 1958 vehicle.
The plot is funny where a widow with 2 children fights a railroad magnate, played to the hilt by Ernie Kovacs. It becomes a back and forth battle.
As the lawyer for Day, Lemmon never really breaks through in this part. The comedic gifts of Mary Wickes are wasted in a role as a switchboard operator turned newspaper reporter.
Steve Forrest plays a N.Y. reporter who picks up on the feud as well as having romantic designs on Day.
The laughs are purely predictable. Nice scenery depicted along with a patriotic Maine having their city council meetings with full participation by the citizenry.
Day and Lemmon deserved better.
