Samuel Raphaelson’s play has been filmed a number of times, partly one guesses because male stars are attracted to the central idea – an aging playwright (he’s 50 I think) finds his much younger secretary fall in love with him, even though he’s wary of the idea. Oh, it’s such a drama to have fresh poon tang obsessed with you… They throw in a younger man to want the woman and an elder woman to be into the playwright. But who cares about playwrights anyway? Or old men who have young girls into them? Maybe I’ll care more in ten or twenty years time. It might help if there were some decent jokes or charm – it’s all light stuff about people living in apartments talking about running away to Finland.
