Though the film is often very funny, this comedy-drama had some very strong scenes for 1963, especially in the scenes relating to an abortion. It certainly has one of the best performances of Natalie Wood's career, and a funny performance by Steve McQueen; there are also good performances by Edie Adams, Herschel Bernardi, Harvey Lembeck, and Tom Bosley (in his screen debut). It was an attempt to update the screwball romances of the 1930s, but with very "contemporary" (for the time) touches, such as premarital sex and abortion.
