Village Voice

Brigid Murnaghan

This is the fourth major stage or screen production of Eileen, and maybe if we're all very good it'll be the last.

Betty Garrett snags one of her best roles, while future Bewitched co-star Dick York (here billed as Richard York) steals scenes.

Battleship Pretension

David Bax

A few clicks in another direction and this movie is a feminist social issue drama. Still, the acting, singing, dancing and technical presentation of all of the above are spot on and delightful.

Janet Leigh makes an unaffected Eileen, but Jack Lemmon can find little to do with his improbable role of confidence restorer to a loveless lady writer.
