Nina (Judy Holliday) and Robert Tracey (Jack Lemmon) are a married couple drifting apart. She asks him for a divorce and he immediately agrees. He moves in with his womanizing buddy Charlie Nelson (Jack Carson) and goes on a crazy date with wild Janis (Kim Novak). Nina is doing no better. Both are struggling with new pursuits.
It's an odd title and I can't imagine people trying to say it at the ticket counter during its run. I love both Jack Lemmon and Judy Holliday. It's an interesting pairing which really hit in another 1954 movie. They are not always together on the screen. When they are together, there is a comedic potential buzzing. I would like the movie to unleash Judy Holliday a lot more. She gets to do some great wacky comedy, but I want more. Kim Novak is actually a little funny. She's essentially doing her version of Judy Holliday, but not as well. Nina and Bobby are not necessarily a perfect couple, but they do fit each other. If they spend more time together, their chemistry could really shine through.
