Query: Where's Douglas Sirk When You Need Him?

The film is schizophrenic - the first half is the more enjoyable one, featuring wry, smart, sharp repartee between the two very charismatic lead actors. The second half retreats into a sappy, spineless mush pit. It's hard to believe this made #5 on the AFI-Passions listing -- one might argue that any movie that hints of a romance should have made it, too, as a result.The two musical interludes featuring a singing Terry (Deborah Kerr) and kids were really unnecessary -- did she still think that she was Anna from 'The King And I?'This movie's achievement is that it is the ancestor of contemporary schmaltzy fare such as 'Sleepless In Seattle' and 'Serendipity.' If only the star-crossed predicaments were a little more believable, even within the realm of a romantic comedy.
