so close but no cigar

Struggling filmmaker Harley Rummel (Warren Beatty) is under pressure to make something revolutionary in his mail-order films but he refuses to make porn. He may have to and he has a new neighbor in single mom Michele O'Brien (Leslie Caron). She has her eyes on her boss, child psychologist Philip Brock. He actually hates kids and she keeps her toddler a secret. While Rummel babysits for Michele, he comes up with a new filmmaking idea.

I thought the movie came out with a brilliant idea when Rummel puts the toddler in a movie. I thought he was going to film only the baby and show it to a female audience. I thought it's a great turn but then he just puts the baby in his hoochie coochie movies. Who would want that? The premise falls apart from that point on. It comes so close and yet so far away. Without the right premise, the comedy doesn't hold and non of it feels right.

Broken Promises...

Forget ISHTAR and TOWN AND COUNTRY if you're looking for Warren Beatty's worst film --- PROMISE HER ANYTHING is it. Beatty's an "art film" director saddled with sitting for divorcée Leslie Caron's baby. He's lecherous enough to try and fool her into thinking he's not what he is in hopes of getting her into bed. She has her sights on psychiatrist Bob Cummings. There is very little that's funny despite the presence of comic experts like Cummings, Lionel Stander, and Hermione Gingold. Caron is not bad and she's extremely beautiful, but Beatty is completely at sea and obviously very uncomfortable playing in a farce. For some reason it's set in Greenwich Village but filmed in a studio in England. It looks and feels that way...and that's not a compliment! Promise yourself that you won't bother with this dog. Beatty would have A LOT more luck with comedy ten years later by creating the biting satire SHAMPOO.

I remember good things about this one.

This would seem to be a silly, throwaway comedy except for . . . a very cute baby, a very cute girl (Leslie Caron) and a very cute character actor (Lionel Stander).

Beatty, playing a cheapo soft porn director, uses his apartment as his studio. Caron, not knowing his profession, begs him to babysit her toddler son. Beatty agrees, only the kid keeps wandering into the shots.

Light-hearted and fun.

Quite bad

Promise Her Anything feels a bit like what you'd get if you took a Billy Wilder comedy and removed all the funny jokes. It's a strange, baffling mess of a film, only sporadically entertaining because of the occasionally strange things that happen. Examples: the opening credits reveal this was partly written by the author of The Exorcist (somehow), Donald Sutherland (RIP) shows up in an uncredited bit part, and Warren Beatty gets a baby drunk. The randomness and lack of coherency enables you to play a game of "what the hell is going to happen next," but it's otherwise not much fun.

I will forget about it almost straight away and that's okay. It's a bit of a waste of Beatty and Leslie Caron, with the former looking a bit embarrassed to be here in some scenes. At least Bonnie and Clyde was on the horizon for him by this point.

Promise me a better movie next time

Kids s2ck. In real life. But especially in movies.

They are not cute. They're not funny. They are not entertaining. They've obnoxious brats.

This movie is no more entertaining than going over to your friends' house on a Saturday evening and having them trot out their stupid brats to sing a song, play the piano, or mimic something they saw in a cartoon movie.

I was embarassed for Warren Beatty having to do physical shtick. And to a certain extent Bob Cummings, being a 50-something pretending to be young enough to still be a bachelor living at home with his super-annuated rich mom.

I enjoyed looking at Leslie Caron, as any healthy man would.

But this movie is terrible. No wonder it only pops up once ever 10 years on TCM.

Trivia
By the time this movie premiered Leslie Caron's husband had divorced her, as she had been in a long term affair with Warren Beatty. Because Beatty had been determined the reason for the divorce, the British court ordered him to pay for all of the court costs.

Errores
In the 'building-block bridge' demonstration for John Thomas, Harley places a red block on top which becomes blue in the subsequent wider shot.
