Harvey, a self-doubting private investigator, plans to marry his girlfriend until he is hired to solve an adultery case and discovers the adulterer is cheating with his fiancée. Lost and dejected, Harvey quits his job and wallows in booze and the occasional odd blind date. Meanwhile, Katia, a Jewish woman from St. Petersburg, arrives in Sydney after answering an ad from an international matchmaking agency. But instead of love, she finds her prospective groom dead on arrival.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?

70

Variety by Dennis Harvey

A romantic comedy that treads familiar "Green Card" terrain with considerable charm if no great style or originality.

50

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

Resolves the romantic dilemma in the most artificial and unsatisfying way. A blaring swing score and some obvious dubbing do little to ease the pain.

40

L.A. Weekly by Paul Malcolm

Kazantzidis struggles for the flavor of classic romance, with a string of standards on the soundtrack to little avail.
