Wolff rating: NOT BAD
Plot summary: A playful Einstein meddles in his niece's love life.
Biased, pithy comments: This film is a simple love story with some big-name extras. Matthau is funny, Ryan is unsatisfying, and Robbins is fine. Fun to watch, but a little silly. Princeton reconstructions are amusing, though at times wrong. Some good chemistry, and Einstein's colleagues are quite amusing.
Other Notes: Walk-on Ike is ghastly.
