Some people seem to have to trash any movie as if that's being a critic. This is a very fun movie to watch. Chantal's (Sandra Dee) marriage has become ho hum and her husband seems to be more interested in work, with models no less, then his new wife so Chantal sets out to renew the spark their relationship once had but she finds no success. Then her mother suggests a book on training a dog to her. At first Chantal is repulsed but having no success any other way why not give it a try. The result is a madcap, whirlwind comedy from the good old days with the tables being turned on Chantal and her mother. This movie isn't on video but if it ever airs on TV again don't miss it! You'll enjoy being entertained and won't even miss the shock content directors add these days. The movie is a film of the play by the same name. Don't miss it and don't let jaded psuedo-critics dissuade you from watching this fun movie with more then one insightful point to ponder.

It has been long in coming but the movie is now out on DVD. I had found it before on VHS on ebay but it was going for $15 +. It looks like it's about $12 on DVD! I was lucky enough to have this recommended by a friend and watched her copy. I have looked through movie stores and even had one of the video rental stores order something with a similar title that turned out to be a B horror flick. Luckily they just put it on the shelf and didn't make me buy it. I can't wait to get the DVD and watch it again. I'm sure I've forgotten just how funny it is since I haven't seen it in about 8 years. They just don't make movies like this anymore. Sweet, wholesome fun.

This movie is the cutest!!! One of my favorites of all time. Sad to see it's not on video. How do we get this one on video? Who do we write to? I give this film a 10 out of 10. Enjoy!

The second of three films with sandra dee and bobby darrin. Chantel has the same squeaky clean image as dee's earlier role as gidget. When chantel and eugene get hitched, it's a bumpy road. Chantel's friend gets involved, and in an attempt to untangle things, her own parents are making things even worse. It's the silly, anti-establishment 1960's now, but not quite the flower power days yet. It's okay. A lot of talking, and towards the end, it gets pretty silly. Keep an eye out for cesar romero and stefanie powers in small roles. Directed by henry levin. Story by winifred wolfe. Dee and darin were actually married in life, as well as in the films, for an extra twist. It's okay. It helps to know dee's history and her earlier films!

This film, adapted from Winifred Wolfe's novel, has its moments and most of them are given to us by a very rare character in fifties comedies: an irresistibly attractive woman in her forties. Micheline Presle plays Sandra Dee's mother, and the dispenser of some delicious advice: Treat your husband like a dog. Sandy's taken aback, like everyone else, until Mother points out that dogs are treated with affection and respect - husbands often get neither. And then wives are surprised when they don't come home.

Oh, there are other pleasures - Dee and Darin are agreeable, and Stefanie Powers gets to be the bitchy girl friend. But Presle is such a joy, she's worth the price of a ticket.
