    • Trivia
      During the opening credits, the scene in Pennsylvania Station behind Director Delbert Mann's credit, is the same shot as the last scene of the movie. If you look closely, you can even see Glenn Ford standing near the Information desk.
    • Goofs
      Near the end of the movie, in the train station, the lady in the leopard skin style hat is behind Evie. In the next scene, you see the same lady standing at the counter of the information booth as Evie arrives to answer the passenger page for her.

    Geraldine Page Is Superb!
    Geraldine Page turns in a great performance as Evie Jackson, a middle-aged woman who seems to have missed the boat and fills her life managing everything and trying to make a home wherever she is. At a postmasters' convention in New York City, she treats the staff like long-lost friends while she evades a group of old maids. She says at one point, that after a woman has given up, she bonds with a group of spinsters and loses her identity.

    Glenn Ford is a rather desperate middle-aged man whose just gotten a promotion and will have an office in New York City. He's been a salesman on the road for decades and yearns to settle down. He's recently gotten engaged to a woman from Altoona, PA (Angela Lansbury) and plans to find an apartment in the big city.

    Of course these two lonely people keep running into each other at the convention hotel where they are both staying. Slowly they begin to be attracted to one another, but he's already engaged. To make matters worse, his soon-to-be step son (Michael Anderson, Jr.) has bailed from college and has basically moved in with Ford at the hotel. But Lansbury has misled him and he thinks the kid is 13. Plus he wants a home, but that's not what Lansbury has in mind.

    Page and Ford are just terrific in this on-and-off romantic story of two souls who finally find one another despite the pitfalls along the road. Lansbury is brash as the "other woman" and Anderson is OK in an odd role and subplot.

    Others in the large cast include Charles Drake as Evie's one-time boyfriend, Barbara Nichols as the sales girl, Patricia Barry as Ford's old girl friend, Richard Deacon as the convention runner, and Sandra Gould as his assistant. The pack of old maids includes Ruth McDevitt, Mary Wickes, and Alice Pearce. Neva Patterson is Page's oft-married friend. Lots of other familiar faces pop up: Hal Smith, Doris Roberts, Maxine Stuart, Patsy Garrett, Ralph Manza, and Steve Bell as Chester.

    Geraldine Page won a Golden Globe nomination for this film.
