Terri’s review published on Letterboxd:
This movie is funny. It's rather terrible. I'm fond of Peter Finch. Jane Fonda is pretty, but she seems to need good material and great direction, and she doesn't get it here. Or maybe, as others have suggested, she is simply miscast. Lansbury is Lansbury and pulls her weight as much as she can. In the Cool of the Day is a fun watch, but not a good one.
