Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

JLRMovieReviews The Chapman Report is about sex and how it plays into the life of an average suburban housewife. Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is a pollster for the survey, and he meets Jane Fonda, by way of interviewing her and then taking a liking to her. While they look like they make a good couple, they became boring with all their talk. Claire Bloom is interviewed, but she is anything but normal. While I knew that Claire Bloom is an exceptional actress, her plot ultimately disinterested and depressed me, despite the fact she has some Oscar-worthy scenes. Shelley Winters, another good actress, is another housewife. Her plot held some interest for me, as she becomes disloyal to her husband. But I ultimately felt unmoved by her plot and grew tired of it. The only person who really shines in this movie and gives it its only charm and bright spot is Glynis Johns as an artist. She sees Ty Hardin on the beach and is enamored by his body. She befriends him and convinces him to pose for her, but then, when she tells him what she really wants, something happens she didn't expect. At least, not in the way she wanted. If you're a Glynis Johns fan, then you must see this film. If not, don't bother. If you want to learn about sex, buy a book, ask a parent or better yet find a partner. Don't watch this.

arsportsltd Daryl Zanuck and his son Richard Zanuck left 20th Century Fox and produced this film at Warner Bros. For the elder Zanuck it was a return to the studio he gained fame under Jack L. Warner.I read that the Zanuck's cast the female leads while the film was in development at 20th Century Fox. Cast are Jane Fonda, Claire Bloom, Glynis Johns, and Shelley Winters the film is an adult expose of the morals of the 4 women the aforementioned stars portray. Lifting the film from the "B" Category is the fact legendary director George Cukor directed this film and Cukor's style and emphasis on Art Direction are obvious. George Cukor cast Warner Bros. stars Ty Hardin, Efrem Zimbalist Jr, and Ray Danton to be the male leads; Chad Everett has a small role. George Cukor is said to have been overwhelmed with Ty Hardin and threw much of the picture to that Warner Bros. star. Of all the players both male and female, it is Mr.Hardin who is presented most scantily clad. For an early 60's film Ty Hardin is showcased in brief bathing suit. Ms. Fonda known for her intelligent performances shines in this film, and I never recalled Glynis Johns-she of the unique voice-to be very attractive but in this film Ms. Johns is drop dead gorgeous. Glynis Johns scenes with Ty Hardin are the best in the film. George Cukor would remain at Warner Bros and direct My Fair Lady and win that long sought Oscar.PS For all of Cukor's direction of Ty Hardin, the Men never worked together after this film.

brefane A rarely screened curio adapted from Irving Wallace's novel which took off from The Kinsey Report, this trashy 1962 film is a shallow soaper not in the same league as Doctors' Wives(71); being so unintentionally bad it's a must see. Like Dctor's Wives, The Chapman Report is a "woman's picture", directed without distinction by George Cukor who directed The Women('39) and won an Oscar for My Fair Lady('64). Topped-billed Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is a dull leading man, and even for a movie his character's professional behavior stretches credulity;he becomes engaged to the frigid young widow he interviews. As the voluntary subjects of a scientific sex survey Jane Fonda is coltish and striking, Claire Bloom as a doomed alcoholic nymphomaniac has a couple of intense scenes, Shelly Winters is dullest as a women involved in an extra marital affair while Glynis Johns comes off best as intentional comic relief. There are some unintentional laughs but, The Chapman Report on the whole is rather pointless and mostly of interest due to the people involved. Cukor claims the film was recut, apparently without his consent. No matter how you slice it, it's pretty thin.

sedercater@yahoo.com This film made the rounds on TV as a 'movie of the week', before made-for-TV movies. I remember watching it with my parents as a kid. My mother kept asking if something happened plotwise and my dad kept mumbling 'it has a great cast'. For years in my family The Chapman Report was the movie to which all bad movies were judged. Was it as bad as The Chapman Report? I don't recall any movie that was ever judged as worse. Great Cast! Bad movie. In retrospect, I think that Eddie Murphy's Best Defense is in the same league, but bad asit was, there was some movement of the characters.Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy Great Cast! Bad movie.
