Arriving in Tokyo two days before the Olympic Games, Sir William Rutland (Cary Grant) struggles to find accommodations due to the number of tourists. When Rutland responds to a roommate-wanted ad posted at the British Embassy, he meets Christine Easton (Samantha Eggar), who reluctantly allows him to move in. Soon, Rutland decides to offer half of his room to an American athlete, Steve Davis (Jim Hutton) -- and when he notices Easton and Davis hitting it off, he tries to bring them together.

1.5/4
...a sluggish and mostly underwhelming romantic comedy... Go to Full Review
Wendy Michener Maclean's Magazine Jul 16, 2019
The picture already seems like last year's movie, and in a way it is. The match-making plot is taken from an earlier housingshortage comedy called The More The Merrier. Even Cary Grant is a disappointment. Go to Full Review

At 62, Cary Grant made his last film in this amiable comedy, a loose, weaker remake of George Stevens' 1943 The More the Merrier. Go to Full Review

Hagrid M Aug 25, 2017 A silly romantic comedy. Some good moments, but a bit far fetched at times. Extra half star for the setting in Japan during the olympics. See more
