'Not much meat on her,' Mike later says, 'but what's there is cherce.'; ; For this chercest of romantic comedies, George Cukor directs, Ruth Gordon and Garon Kanin provide the Oscar®-nominated screenplay* and a deft cast plays various Damon Runyonesque types, including Aldo Ray as a dim-bulb palooka and Charles (Bronson) Buchinski as a tough guy who finds Pat tougher.
