What keeps this frothy film interesting, in a perverse way, is that the goody-two-shoes Patty comes across as calculating while the two playboys are viewed as much more sympathetic figures despite all their conniving attempts to score a virgin.
“THE MOON IS BLUE is a small comedy that seems to sparkle, sound monotonous, look machine-made, and appear smartly guided at the same moment.”
