This film is a hidden gem, rarely shown for some reason. Thelma Ritter excels in everything she does. The supporting cast is excellent too. This is a dark comedy which focuses on single men and women who aren't blessed with good looks. Ritter tries to match them up (for money of course) . Some of these planned unions are successful, some not. A few of the stories have heartbreaking consequences. Look for the amazing Nancy Culp in one of her earliest roles.
