Komedie / drama / romantický, USA, 1968, 101 min.



Because she wants more excitement in her life, a 27-year-old black woman, Ivy Moore, decides to leave her job as domestic to a Long Island family and go to secretarial school. When she announces her plans to her employers, the Austins, the entire family is upset at losing their maid-housekeeper-confidante of 9 years' standing. Deciding that Ivy's decision results from a lack of romance in her life, the Austins' teenaged daughter, Gena, and hippie son, Tim, decide to play matchmakers without their parents' knowledge. Tim persuades Jack Parks, a young black trucking executive, to date Ivy by threatening to expose his sideline operation--a gambling casino located inside a moving trailer truck. Afraid to lose Austin's department store contract, Jack agrees. After an awkward first date Jack and Ivy warm up to each other, but their romance cools when Ivy learns that Jack was blackmailed into dating her. Despite his aversion to marriage, Jack follows Ivy back to the Austin house and confesses his love for her, even promising to give up the gambling operation. And, as the lovers depart arm in arm, the Austins are left to face their domestic problems.
