my wahine who is a junkie of such genre films claims the movie cribbed heavily from a doris day / james garner film.

i thought the vibe was generally accurate; the art direction was not really historically accurate - the clothes etc seemed more of a decade era than from a specific year. perhaps that was the intention, more of an homage than a re-creation.

the casting that was brilliant was david hyde-pierce taking the role normally filled By tony randall back in the day. and putting tony randall in as a honcho.
