Rating: C+ --
A breezy romcom that has some charm but falls flat when it tries to also be perceptive.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Thelma Ritter, in her first really starring role, is almost up to her previously high standards as a dry humorist. Jeanne Crain and Scott Brady provide romantic interest.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Things just can't go right when a model/client turns the tables on her cynical, meddling marriage broker.
Product Description:
The model (Jeanne Crain) is stuck in an unhappy relationship with a married man. The marriage broker (Thelma Ritter) doesn't like this and tries to match the model with a lonely x-ray technician (Scott Brady). The model is so grateful that she tries to find an eligible bachelor for the broker. The broker resists this largesse, but then realizes that the only reason she meddles in other people's lives is to make up for the emptiness of her own. THE MODEL AND THE MARRIAGE BROKER resists the temptation of poking fun at the less attractive clients of the marriage broker; this is especially true in the case of Frank Fontaine, whose performance as a lovesick Swede is quite moving.
