Lovely story, nice to see !, 30 August 1999

Author: Sasa-13 from Hamburg, Germany

At the 70s, people took much more care of the characters than today !! It is not a comedy where you can laugh aloud. But you have a smile on your face all the time you watch this movie ! In a way, this movie makes you happy !! Especially Jack Lemmon is a great actor !!
