I was sold when I realized this meant I'd get to watch an early '60s comedy. Big fan of those!

This was fine. It took a while to get to the storyline, but they must've wanted to milk Glenn Ford, Miyoshi Umeki, Donald O'Connor, et. al (including Ted Knight from The Mary Tyler Moore Show!) for as much screentime as they could get. 

I think it was funny and heartfelt in places. Sometimes it gave me the ick, but overall it did have a good story to it. I don't think I necessarily need to see this again but it was a fun first watch.
