I started wearing glasses in Kindergarten. 1967? The year I graduated high school, my Dad was telling me about research being done and that someday I'd be able to have surgery to correct my eyesight. He worked for FDA and had read about it in some of their reports. I kept that in a corner of my brain (that was '80). When the finally started doing it, I didn't qualify because of my high degree of astigmatism. My husband was lucky enough to get his PRK paid for while in the military. I had LASIK a couple of years later, in '05. My dream of seeing what time it was without picking up the alarm clock and putting it three inches in front of my face was finally a reality. Now, I need reading glasses, but at the time my next pair of glasses were going to be bifocals anyway.

Oh yes, I have seen Adam's Rib, along with a few others which he did in the early fifties: How to Marry a Millionaire, The Tender Trap, With a Song in my Heart. Terrific actor!

I very much liked Richard Queen in this story. In a way, he reminds me of Ray Collins's Inspector Tragg in the old Perry Mason mysteries. He had that same way of sort of "lying in wait" during conversations, then springing a quip to show that he might be old, but he's no fool. Of course, Tragg was a lot more sneaky and even a little sadistic, but neither of them was the sort you should underestimate, despite appearances.

For those of you that are David Wayne fans, here are a couple more recommendations that you might check out:
Portrait of Jennie (1948)a sweet fantasy/romance movie with a very young-looking Wayne playing a supporting role to Joseph Cotten.
Andromeda Strain (1971)Wayne is part of a scientific team trying to find a cure to a deadly germ from outer space.
We're Not Married! (1952)This movie is broken into segments about couples finding out they are not legally married. In Wayne's segment, he's married to Marilyn Monroe.
The Twilight Zone, Escape Clause episodeWayne makes a deal with the devil to live forever. -

Thanks! I've seen
Portrait of Jennie
, but I really don't remember any of the stars in this film. I saw this film before the name David Wayne meant anything to me.
I seem to remember watching
We're Not Married
, but I don't remember it at all.
That episode of
The Twilight Zone
sure was terrific!
