La vie privée d'Adam et Ève

This is one of the very strangest films I have ever seen. Several travelers are en route to Reno, when thunderstorm causes them to take refuge in an abandoned church. Falling asleep, the two leads dream they are Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. The "Eden" sequence, up until the "expulsion" is in color. The first twenty minutes of the film are actually pretty decent, and seem to build up to something good, but the dream sequence in "Eden" is just too silly for words. The sight of Mickey Rooney playing the Devil in a padded snake suit is alone worth watching the film for. Paul Anka sings the theme song and has a rather minor role in the film. Also noteworthy is Tuesday Weld who does not appear in the dream sequence, but who sparkles during her screen time. The film ends with Eve requesting a pickle from Ad. A definite must-see!

I saw this movie as a kid and I cannot remember much about it. But I do remember Mickey Rooney and I thought he was hilarious. I remember Milner playing Adam. I remembered him because he starred in TV series Route 66.

The movie caught my attention as a child because I went to church regular and I was very familiar with the Biblical Adam and Eve story.

Like I stated, I cannot remember much but I have always wanted to see the movie again. It was corny but fun.

I would love to buy a copy of it to see if the movie would be just as funny as it was years ago.

So this movie is silly? It has plenty of charm and light heartedness! It's innocent and funny. It's really worth a look especially if you're a (female) Martin Milner fan! You can find this on video currently at www.thevideobeat.com It was worth the purchase because it had been so long since I had seen it and it was only more charming since I've become older. Mickey Rooney as the devil? Can you imagine Andy Hardy in a padded snake suit? I found that extremely hilarious, just that alone! I'm not really a fan of Mamie Van Doren, so her part is difficult to watch (though I'm sure she would be a sight for the male audience). All in all, the cast is excellent, the story is sweet. I honestly can't understand why the decency brigade tagged it...I know things were strict growing up, but there's really nothing dirty at all about it...unless you have a really filthy mind?

I don't care what everyone else said but I liked this film.

Sure it's silly with the dream sequence in the middle and

alternates between black and white and color, but it's god a sense of fun about it. It's also got some really nice looking ladies and Eve manages to walk in a skirt that looks almost too tight to fit into. LOL.....

Sure the film didn't win or for that matter deserve to win awards for production or such but it's fun.... I had fun watching it and it just felt like there was a sense of fun in the story.





6/10

I saw this movie when I was 6 or 7 and it enchanted my young mind. In my polluted older age mind the enchantment remains. (I would love to see it again, but I can't find it anywhere.) I recall that several people are on a bus and have to stop and take refuge in a church on the side of the road because of a severe thunderstorm. They spend the night in the church and one of the people on the bus has a dream about the Garden of Eden. Some of the people on the bus are characters in the dream; Mickey Rooney, the bus driver, is the devil. If anyone who reads this knows how I can get a copy of it, please email me with the information - afainca75@hotmail.com.
