🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the gap between the protagonist's pompous military bearing and his farcical domestic defeats. It relies on a distinctly British wit to explore fading masculinity and the absurdity of late-life infatuations.

What lingers after the final reel is the gentle precision of the satire, a reminder that the waltz of desire has its own, often ridiculous, rhythm. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: John Guillermin
