  Review by Luke Pauli ★★½ 1

  Weird movie this. Like Mary Poppins, if Mary was a buxom Italian woman. The kids are well annoying and whiny. Cary Grant and Sophia Loren share an easy chemistry (they were bonking behind the scenes). Why am I writing this in short bullet point sentences? Anything with Grant is instantly watchable, though this is a fairly charmless affair. The romance doesn't ring true, it's tonally strange and the musical bits are just bizarre. Like I said, weird movie. I almost lived on a houseboat once.

  Review by RetroHound ★★★

  Somewhat amusing story with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. Grant is rich and has three kids. When his ex-wife dies he takes the kids to his small apartment in Washington, D.C. They decide to go to his sister-in-law's house, I assume in rural Virginia. She's rich too. Sophia Loren is a tired of her overbearing father and runs away and takes a job as Grant's nanny/housekeeper. But she doesn't cook, can't do laundry, or even the basic household chores. But the kids love her.

  They end up on a run-down houseboat and I was worried it going to be one *those* comedies where it's all about the house falling down around their heads. Luckily, it doesn't do too much with…

  Review by loureviews ★★½

  This was the period in Cary Grant's career where he was weirdly bronzed in appearance with gleaming grey hair and playing rather seedy romantic roles, in this case, with Sophia Loren, playing the daughter of an orchestral conductor who goes away to escape the suffocating attentions of her father and implied romantic attachment with Werner Klemperer (the commandant from Hogan's Heroes). She becomes housekeeper for Grant and his three children.

  Loren is stunningly beautiful but her chemistry with Grant is not that convincing, and the three children, especially the little boy, are weird little brats. There may be the odd fun moment here, but the script is tired, and the musical bits are shoehorned in without any thought of how they contribute to the film other than making it longer than it should be.

  Review by Filipe Furtado ★★

  For a movie that is better known for its director saying "Cary Grant gave me an ulcer", it really is too lightweight for its own good. Grant and Loren are very good with the kids separately, but the romantic plot is a non-starter. I wish this actually made some good use of the houseboat setting. Most of the contrived material around Loren's character doesn't work.

  Review by AJ ★★½

  One of the many reasons Cary Grant and Sophia Loren were great was that could whip chemistry out of thin, so it's no surprise that they light up the screen when they're together.
