Julie Harris, as a lonely and homely woman seeking a husband in America's sunshine capital, is immensely appealing in the central role. But the play itself is a travesty, a trite rehash of travel-folder propaganda and True Love Confessions, with a heavy touch of Pamela.

(for the shooting of CBS-TV's Rawhide), and to practically anywhere else a travel-minded reporter would want to go.
