Customer Rating: Summary: The finned cars, the gals, the new houses... and then there is Bob! Comment: I saw this at the walk-in in the 60s when I was a little tyke and just loved it. I saw it on TV in the 90s and since I was living in Southern California I knew where the hood was so I searched one day and I found the house! It is in Calabasas right off the 101 and Mulholland Highway. I loved the finned cars and the gorgeous women. Damn, that Bob Hope was one lucky Bachelor. When it comes out on DVD I will buy it. Customer Rating: Summary: THIS BRINGS ME BACK! Comment: Believe it or not but I saw this movie when it was in theaters-and living in Southern California. The outside shots are EXACTLY the way it looked back in the late 50's/early 60's. I could watch this movie over and over and over... love Paula Prentiss and Jim Hutton-they have great chemistry.
Seeing this movie is also very nostalgic because it was the end of an era=Bob Hope and Lana Turner, Annette and Frankie were at the beach and Pat Boone was on the radio.
I wish they would release this on DVD; I'd buy it in a second. Customer Rating: Summary: Please release this on DVD! Comment: When will this delightful movie be available on DVD? I agree with most of what the positive reviews of this film say. It's a delicious look at early 60s suburban sensibilities, and the cast is wonderful. Make no mistake -- I'm a teenager of the 60s, and I was no fan of Bob Hope's conservative viewpoints on the Vietnam war. But, I LOVE Bob Hope -- the same way I love my parents, who had similar beliefs during that time. Bob Hope was a marvelous comedic actor, and this movie is just great entertainment. Lana Turner is wonderful, Paula Prentiss (one of the most under-appreciated actresses in the last century) was wonderful, and the whole movie is a delight from start to finish. It pains me to see that used VHS versions of this movie are selling from private owners for $50 plus, and the studio that owns the rights is not releasing it to DVD. HELLO! I'm a baby-boomer, and this movie came out when I was 10 years old! We are the fastest-growing and largest part of the population of this country. Bob Hope died 3 years ago, and you're missing a good bet! Get with it, and release the DVD! Customer Rating: Summary: you said it jpalms from north carolina!!! [...] Comment: It is such a funny classic in my opinion! I am a big fan of Bob Hope and had never heard of the film, but I was able to finally catch it one time on tv as per my mother's recommendation and I am so lucky to have seen it. [...] Customer Rating: Summary: Bob Hope at His Timeless Best! Comment: If you love to laugh...if you love TIMELESS comedy...THIS is a MUST HAVE!This is the best entertainer the world has ever seen...at least in popularity and comedy. It does not matter how many times I see this movie...I love it, and want to see it again and again. Never tire of it. It hearkens back to simpler, better times in America, stress free, when the only problems were the mysterious single guy down the street who unbeknownst to the neighbors...is a swinging sex expert novelist...living anonymously among them to do further research. Tim Hutton and other stars add their ingredients to a top notch classic sixties comedy in the realm of Doris Day, James Garner, Carey Grant.
Settling into suburbia without a clue of how to manage a household, this master of comedy shows everyone how funny everyday life can be. BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!
