Some people will do anything to reach the top rung of the corporate ladder -- even get back together with an estranged spouse. Carter is a sullen petroleum businessman living in England. He wants to be a real company leader. But his rocky seven-year marriage has left a blemish on his resume. So a PR flak named Bramwell sets out to orchestrate Carter's rise. Bramwell must convince Toni, Carter's brassy wife, to rekindle a chilly romance with her spouse for image's sake. Toni, though, is her erstwhile husband's total opposite, for she has since dedicated her life to political causes. As Bramwell discovers, this is no easy task. (official distributor synopsis)

This is exactly the kind of naive 60s American comedy that just doesn’t work for me. The relationship between Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida feels forced and nonsensical. The only silver lining is that it seems to have inspired War of the Roses later on. It’s not funny, overly sentimental, and just a product of its time. As for Gina, I couldn’t quite figure out if there was something captivating about her or not. I guess there must have been, considering I couldn’t stop watching her, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was.
