Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
David I don't often comment on films I hate, but I'm prepared to make an exception for this piece of horse-****. Overacted, sexist, puerile trash. I loathed every minute. The only positive thing I can think to say is that it makes me realise that during my lifetime society has developed for the better in some respects. The fact that anyone in 1963 could find this entertaining is truly disturbing. But it tells me that despite all that is wrong now, we have left behind these Neanderthal attitudes to women. If anyone can find me someone born since 1963 who finds this funny, I will eat my gorilla.I'm desperately trying to find something positive to say. Even though Hollywood was making some great movies at this time (e.g. Cat on a Hot tin Roof) with great production values, this is just cheap and tawdry. The set is horribly artificial. The dialogue is banal. Oh yes, there was one display of great comic timing towards the end as Lemmon is chased out of the door protesting and the door slam was perfectly timed. There you are, I'm not biased.
ptb-8 Well it's a 2 or a 10 depending on how and where you see it. Personally I would advise every gay movie night schedule include this gasp worthy drivel for girls to howl and throw things at the screen. YUM YUM TREE is possibly the most inane insulting sexist farce this side of CARRY ON AGAIN DOCTOR which makes the viewer crippled with lockjaw horror. If you are an infantile dimwit swinging bachelor who fantasizes about trapping women in the apartment he has rented to them... well very SAW and HOSTEL, now-day, this 1963 so called sex comedy is as much fun as a wet towel. And a towel from the dog bed not the bedroom. Jack Lemmon is strident and he must have been so embarrassed in later years for making this. Imogen Coca is wasted in a lame role as sadly she always was. This is a terrible film. Insulting. The TV music with the tiddly xylophone music to signal 'comedy scene' is groan-worthy. Stupid eye rolling dialog and bimbo characters make this ideal for bad movie night especially for Lesbians who will choke on the sexism of the whole concept and execution. The ONE good thing is his red car (!) in which they go on a picnic....
Damfino1895 I really like Jack Lemmon, he has appeared in so many great movies during his career, but, what the heck induced him to do this total stinker of a movie.I watched this movie in growing disbelief at what is a teenage boy's fantasy of being a rich man doing nothing worthwhile with his life owning a apartment block full of gorgeous young women wearing next to nothing and having free rein to do what he likes because he is their landlord.What possessed Jack Lemmon to take on the role of a disgusting lecherous, moral free man who is planning to seduce (rape more like) a young virgin who lives in his apartment block. The story is so full of plot holes, why didn't anyone one report him to the police? Beats me! Anyway, I failed to make it to the end as when I heard Irene's speech about the man and the woman's role in a marriage I nearly choked on my cup of tea, only a man with a superiority complex over women could have written that baloney.Completely humour free and a waste of two hours of my life. I think I'd better watch Some Like It Hot or The Odd Couple again to erase Lemmmon's Hogan out of my conscience.
scareduck It's been so many years since I've seen this, but I remember watching it as a teenager and thinking -- these are grownups here. *I'm* old enough to know what's going on. And this isn't funny. It reminds me of Matt Groening's Paradox:* The French are funny.* Sex is funny.* Comedies are funny.Yet, NO FRENCH SEX COMEDY IS FUNNY. Replace "French" with "Jack Lemmon", and, had you stumbled onto this film as your first and only exposure to that otherwise great actor, you might be tempted to banish Lemmon from your living room forever.
