- Edwina EkstromSeptember 27, 2025One of my favorite movies. Everyone in it is perfectly cast for their parts. The way Walter Matthau stays one step ahead of everyone chasing him while doing it so humorously and creatively.....the glitch at the end making you wonder is this going from comedy to drama....and the very creative end all make this a great watch. Glenda and Walter had such great chemistry. It's a shame they only made one other movie together. You could really believe that they loved each other and a romance between older people is much appreciated by those of us who are older.
