Never Act With Small Children

This is a prime example of this show biz dictum. Beatty and Caron both act as if they are embarrassed to be in this cheap, poorly written, smutty comedy, and well they should. Apparently they were having an affair at the time and would rather be off alone. So would you if you were in this movie. Give it a miss unless you're a fan.

Holy cow

So whenever I say to people, well you know the movies were so much better in the 30-60's I have to think about this and several other 60's romantic comedies that shouldn't have played well then and certainly don't play well now. Bob Cummings is a nice guy but him playing a major role isn't a good sign, Leslie is okay, but Beatty puts in a flat miserable performance. I have to admit I only watched part of the movie and checked in periodically but I don't think I missed a thing.

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.

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.

"In America, sex never changes--in Denmark, it changes!"

Exceedingly thin comedy from screenwriter William Peter Blatty (paying his bills) about a cheesecake filmmaker in Greenwich Village under duress from his mail-order distributor to spice up the action. Meanwhile, he's got a new neighbor, a young French widow with a rambunctious son...and a shapely behind! Tepid picture from talents seen to better advantage elsewhere. Warren Beatty looks flustered and performs listlessly, while Leslie Caron is all spunky externals and no depth. The entire plot is laid out for us in the first 15 minutes, while Beatty's competition in the love department is none other than sexless Robert Cummings, he of the mannequin's grin. You know you're in for it when the opening montage consists of a toddler wreaking 'comic' chaos in a jewelry store, playing peek-a-boo for the camera while reacting to animated credits hovering about his head. *1/2 from ****
