 Man's Favorite Sport? August 24, 2008

One of my many "oldie" favorites. Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss are a good match. Not a rousing comedy but a steady one.

I had never seen this movie, and looked forward to viewing it, in part because I think that Howard Hawks may have been the grestest American movie director. I began to worry during the credits which played to possibly the worst movie theme I have ever heard. When I saw the theme was credited to Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini, I was stunned. Then the movie began, and I suppose it was okay if you like comedies that never make you laugh. The movie almost seemed to be an in-joke on Hudson's double life, but I don't suppose that can be proved. Why did the writers have Hudson reveal his secret to Prentiss in the first few minutes? Wouldn't concealment until near the end have given more comic opportunities? Was the fake Indian chief funny even in 1963? I think Hawks forgot at times that he was not directing Cary Grant, whose subtleties and physical grace (with him the scene of climbing upside down into Prentiss's car might actually have been funny) would have added some humor on their own. Hudson was not without a lesser talent , but you don't see it in this movie.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ROMANCE MOVIE OF ALL TIME--RIGHT BEHIND THE SECOND AND FIRST "AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER" AND "ROME ADVENTURE" NONE OF THAT HORRIBLE ANIMALISM SEX--BUT PURE UNADULTERATED PLAYFUL WINNING OF THE HEART OF ANOTHER---GENTLY, TENDERLY, SWEETLY! THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH STARS SHOWING THE INDICATE MY PLEASURE IN THE WATCHING OF THIS MASTERPIECE, OF THE DANCE OF HEARTS FULL OF LOVE. PROBABLY WATCHED THIS 20 TIMES. NEVER TIRE OF THE ENJOYMENT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!! RICHARD MILLER

This is a classic example of the old saying "those that can't do - teach". Rock Hudson plays Roger Willoughby a writer portrayed to be an expert at fishing that has never been in his life. When he is entered in a fishing tournament as the resident expert, he is in a pickle. Paula Prentiss plays Abigail Page the unsuspecting one that got him into the tournament. As Roger learns to follow his own advice, it is laugh out loud funny.

Typical Rock Hudson -- goofy, love story, and just plain fun. I'd seen it years ago and just wanted it for my collection.
