Very good talky odd couple flick. It's no 'The Apartment', even though I tend to like Mitchum better than Lemmon. Shirley's just lovely.

I would have loved to have seen this made with the original Broadway pairing of Henry Fonda and Anne Bancroft in the lead roles. While Mitchum and MacLaine are good, the chemistry seems a little lacking.

I'm off two minds about this movie. Both Mitchum and MacLaine are in fine form (Mitchum playing quite a bit against type) and they have undeniable chemistry (MacLaine later said this film kicked off an actual relationship), but they are really a terrible couple, and my inability to ever really root for them kept me at quite a distance from this film. It's an odd film that combines a refreshingly adult look at a complex relationship with an almost offputtingly dated view of men and women.

Mitchum and MacLaine don't seem to be compatible or have real chemistry but eventually the viewer gets pulled into the unpredictable emotional roller coaster.
