Romantic comedy involving a British businessman (Grant) unable to find a hotel room in Tokyo due to the crowds staying for the 1964 summer Olympic Games. He winds up renting a room from an Embassy secretary (Eggar) and then meets and invites Hutton, a member of the U.S. Olympic walking team, also without a place to stay, to share it with him. Grant then proceeds to play matchmaker, despite the fact that Eggar has a fiance. Grant's last film. Innocuous, unnecessary remake of “The More the Merrier.” 114m/C VHS, DVD . Cary Grant, Samantha Eggar, Jim Hutton, John Standing, Miiko Taka; D: Charles Walters; M: Quincy Jones.
