This is a film that will have raised ones emotional IQ by the time it's over.

Robert Preston is in so many movies I like with so many of my favorite leading ladies, that he's become one of my most favorite leading men! He's so great at playing a guy that we love to love, one that we root for!

And Mary! Mary, Mary, Mary...Dear, sweet Mary, as her TV co-stars would say- is at her sweetest here. I've never seen such tenderness from her, so much so, that it has made me see her in a whole new light. I have always been her fan, which is why I watched this movie in the first place, but here, she made me want a hug! She made me want her to hold me, she was so kind and understanding and tender, that I totally understood why the men in this film were so crazy for her- and it wasn't just cause she could turn the world on with her smile! This is one of her best roles!

This is one of those simple little films that is all about character development. It's a slow-burning love-triangle, romance movie, that's a little rough around the edges in some ways, but ultimately very good. This is a film that builds empathy, as it's easy to see oneself in the predicaments of the characters. This is a film that will have raised ones emotional IQ by the time it's over. It's a sweet film, filled with heavy themes, done with a light touch and a dash of humor.

My favorite lines in the movie:

MTM: "I love you for doing my ironing!" Robert P.: "Now say it again, for no reason at all." MTM: "I love you, for no reason at all!" *Both break into laughs*

And that about sums it up!
