Director: Delbert Mann (really? Delbert??)
Stars: Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Tony Randall
It is too ridiculous. Maybe because it was directed by a guy named Delbert.
Okay, I am just being mean. It was like any other comedy of mistaken identity. Bachelor playboy Jerry (a very handsome Hudson) has very unethical ideas about advertising. And Carol (Day), also in the ad business, finds out about his ways of stealing clients and so decides to get the "vip" account before he does- the right way. The problem is: "vip" is not an actual product; only a figment of Jerry's imagination. When Jerry meets his rival Carol, he is smitten, and, to protect himself and impress her, he pretends to be the scientist who is developing the "secret product". Since Carol has never met Jerry, this works for a while. She, the classic "good girl" will do whatever it takes to get the "vip" account from this "good" doctor. The ending is dumb, sorry. I just didn't enjoy it and the love story was extremely unbelievable.
Tony Randall was funny!
Even when you give a movie a "bad" review, I'm still interested to see it! You make even bad sound good! ; )
ReplyDeleteReally, you just entice my curiosity!
haha! Thanks! Yeah, usually the movies that get bad reviews really aren't awful, I'm just thinking " Well, not enough romance, and silly story" or "That was ok, but never watching it again." And if you can't watch a movie a second time, is it worth it? I don't think so.
