Just caught this on TCM - probably saw it when I was a kid - but that's been a number of undisclosed decades ago . . . :D
Ron Howard is adorable here. Glenn Ford is just Glen Ford. I like him, but he always seems to be brooding.
Simple plot - widowed dad sad, son wants to fix him up with a new lady. Dad is aloof to the perfect match just across the hall, instead engages a self absorbed dame. Son takes exception. Everything works out.
I like the fun notion of a redhead, a blonde, & a brunette. I wanted to like the brunette - but it was on/off obvious she didn't really want a stepson around. I think that could've been made more clear.
As with all old movies, (& some new ones too) there's a lot of unecessary scenes that don't really move the story along - but overall this is a pretty fun old movie that'll take you back right to the early 60s styles of everything from clothes to home interiors & home accessories.
