Lackluster script, good performances, one cool moment.
Gene Roddenberry delivers a weak version of Taming of the Shrew/Pygmalion/My Fair Lady.
The performances are enjoyable, particularly Richard Boone.
The gunfight scene, where Paladin lines up 5 glasses and then shoots them is pretty damn cool.
After several strong drama episodes at the start of the season, the show seems to be doing a lot of these light supposedly “amusing” tales mid-season. I prefer the serious stuff.
Written by Bert Granet and Frank Ryan, based on a story by Grover Jones
Synopsis ~ A shy, quiet executive for a shipping firm who finds himself with a dilemma: he’s become smitten with his young temporary secretary but she’s the girlfriend of his Navy buddy - and the buddy is scheduled to be discharged in only a few days.
Note: “Gob” is a slang word for a sailor. This term first showed up in regard to sailors around 1909 and may have come from the word gobble. Reportedly, some people thought that sailors gobbled their food. The term also may come from the word gob, which means to spit, something sailors also reportedly do often.

3G TRIVIA
The film was dramatized for radio on “The Screen Guild Radio Theatre” on October 9, 1944, also starring Lucille Ball and George Murphy. They rerpised their roles on radio once again for “Old Gold Comedy Theatre” on February 11, 1945.
Maureen O'Hara was initially slated for the role played by Lucille Ball. Ball and O’Hara had done the 1940 film Dance, Girl, Dance together.
This film came towards the end of Lucille Ball's RKO days. She had already achieved leading lady status and would only make four more films for RKO before moving to MGM. She couldn’t know that she would one day own the studio with her husband, Desi Arnaz. Interestingly, RKO borrowed George Murphy from MGM for this film.
This film's earliest documented telecast took place in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Sunday June 3, 1956 over TV station WFBG. That same week, Lucille Ball began filming season six of “I Love Lucy” in Hollywood.
In 1971, “The Carol Burnett Show” spoofed the film with “A Gob, a Girl and Her Galoshes".
The movie was referenced in the Emmy-winning documentary “Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie”.
