Movie Haiku:One twin is a sophisticated city babe, the other is a mouse who takes care of their widowed Dad in the burbs. When "the pretty one" dies in a car crash, the mouse decides to switch lives. OK premise, but abysmal execution. Kazan fails to convince & everyone else just acts dumb & predictable except Johnson as the urban neighbor. He deserves better. Never to be seen by Rich.
