An amusing , funny but inocuous and unnecessary remake of 1943's ¨The more the merrier¨ by George Stevens with Jean Arthur , Joel McCrea , Charles Coburn , set during the World War II housing shortage in Washington, while in 1966 version is transferred from wartime to Tokyo's 1964 Olympic Games . Walk Don't Run(1966) has similar plot , as beautiful young Eggar offers to sublet half of her apartment, fully expecting a suitable female tenent , what she gets instead is mischievous, middle-aged Grant who promptly sublets half of his half to young, irreverent Hutton, creating a situation tailor-made for comedy and romance. The trio have a rough start due to their differing personalities , but later they get along well , and eventually falling in love . Gary Grant's last movie , giving a very sympathetic acting as the older matchmaker , he's on top comedy form , raising laughs often without saying a word . Watch his face while grunts as he potters around Samantha Eggar's kitchen attempting to find things.
The motion picture was well directed by Charles Walters . It is pretty well , though it doesn't have too much originality , because partially copying the previous 1943 version . Veteran filmmaker Charles Walters was a Hollywood craftsman , a good expert on Musical and Comedies , such as : "Good news , Easter parade , The Barkleys of Broadway, Summer Stock, Texas Carnival, The belle of New York, Three guys called Mike , Torch Sing , Lili, Easy to love ,The glass slipper , The Tender trap, High Society, Please don't eat the Daisies, Dangerous when wet, The unsinkable Molly Brown" , among others . Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable . The picture will appeal to Gary Grant and Samantha Eggar fans .
