Rating:  - Loved this movie...
This was one of Elizabeth Taylor's best movies. She plays amateur psychiatrist and would-be love interest to Van Johnson, whose character is a lawyer and former war vet. A trauma suffered during that time causes him to be drunk just from taking one sip of liquor, and she sets out to "cure" him.

While this didn't have ... Read More
Rating:  - Mildly Amusing MGM Comedy Bolstered By A Blossoming Young Elizabeth Taylor And A Fine Supporting Cast

Ensemble playing from the talented cast is top-drawer throughout, with excellent timing ever in evidence. A shadowy sub-plot dealing with racial prejudice (victims: Chinese) is not overdone and is ... Read More
Rating: - Van Johnson Rocks
An age old theme is explored here with surprising candor for a 1950's flick. In my book, this is one of those lawyer movies that every lawyer should see, along with that Al Pacino movie, And Justice For All. Van Johnson, who is so under-rated and oft forgotten, plays an honor student at a law school. He has a job as a clerk at a giant man-eating law firm, when ( as a bit of a sub-plot) one of the partner's daughter's, played by the ever-beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, decides he's the man for her, bashfulness ...
