¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesOne of cinema's most stalwart supporting actors, Thelma Ritter enjoyed her only starring role in this film, in which she appears in nearly every scene prior to the one-hour mark, when Matt (Scott Brady) meets Kitty (Jeanne Crain) for their first date. The only other film that came close in terms of her screen time was Casado y con dos suegras (1951), in which she was also central to the plot.
- Pifias(at around 1h 21 mins) Just after Mae pulls up the window shade, out of frame a crew member apparently moves something that casts a tall vertical shadow on the apartment wall at the right edge of the frame. The shadow looks like that of a coat rack, but might be of equipment such as a stand to support something else.

Dan Chancellor: Beautiful up here, isn't it? Those trees. I've always liked that poem that said, "Only God can make a tree."
Mae Swasey: Yeah, but on the other hand, you gotta figure, who else would take the time?

Reseña destacada
The movie's a showcase for Ritter's brand of cranky charm. She's a marriage broker, pairing up lonely people, and dispensing step-motherly advice. There's a parade of familiar supporting characters. Too bad they don't get more screen time, especially the poignant Nancy Kulp and the fast-talking Michael O'Shea. The film's too smooth to be genuinely funny. Still, there're amusing moments, occasional caustic charm, but the underlying theme of lonely people may be a reason director Cukor doesn't go for big laughs. I agree with the reviewer who thinks Crain too cool and detached to get into the swim. On the other hand, Brady surprised with a somewhat animated performance, unlike his usual stolid screen presence.
This is also a movie that really needs Technicolor. Instead the dull grays do nothing to underscore a lighter mood or heighten New York City locations. Anyway, Ritter certainly deserves top billing, which instead went to the better-known Crain who doesn't get much screen time until the last third. Plus, it's to someone's credit that a middle-age woman gets so much attention in a medium not known for the aging or plain-faced. Overall, it's an amiable film with an unusual central performance, a poignant topic, but also with an over-stretched script, likely to accommodate movie star Crain.
