![]() ![]() Shirley Jones isn't new to acting, yet she has a hard time adding emotion to her words, either appearing to be too blasé or going overboard, but who cares, she looks spectacular, in short-shorts even. It could be Doris Day, (and normally was) or some other picturesque actress, add in a simple story of man chases woman until she catches him, and you have 90 minutes of perfectly good escape. The 50's were great for the innocent, light, sexually tease, brand of movies. Talk about contrived!!! It really, really was a bad decision.as before this ridiculous portion, the film was amazingly good.and Jones was simply radiant. It seems that Grover 'accidentally' flies away on a cluster of giant balloons and soon the fire department, police AND Navy are all scrambling to save this dopey 6 year-old. But what follows was just stupid.and it really made a great romance an okay one in the end. This first 3/4 of the film was great.and the dilemma was real and you could understand Amy. ![]() And, it's a shame as the boys really love the guy and want their mother to marry him. The widow lost a husband in the Navy AND if she marries the Commander, she'll have to move with her three small boys to Italy! This is too much for her.and you certainly can understand her rejecting the Commander's offer. It seems the youngest, Grover, was sending Morse code distress signals from their house in San Diego! And, the US Navy noticed it and went on alert! This was the kooky meet cute in the film.and soon Amy Martin (Shirley Jones) and the Commander begin dating and fall in love. ![]() "A Ticklish Affair" begins with Navy Commander Key Weedon (Gig Young) arriving at the Martin household. ![]()
