Editorial Reviews

Golden-Globe nominated and Emmy Award-winning Tony Randall ("Pillow Talk," TV's "The Odd Couple") plays Lorenzo Charlton, a stuffy tax investigator sent to the farm of Pop Larkin (Paul Douglas) and Ma Larkin (Una Merkel) to find out why they haven't been paying taxes. He discovers that the Larkins, instead of money, use a homegrown barter system. Overwhelmed by their complex economic network, Lorenzo drinks one home brew too many. Awakening from a hangover, he sees a vision of loveliness before him -- the Larkin's spunky daughter Mariette (Debbie Reynolds). Enraptured by Mariette, he decides to stick around and find a way to get the family out of their onerous tax burden. George Marshall ("How the West Was Won," "Destry Rides Again") directs this breezy romantic comedy.

VASTLY OVERPRICED.

Reviewed by Edna Little, 2010-02-25

Why are these DVDs so Vastly Overpriced.!
They sell for a reasonable $19.99 at the Warner Bros own website. But they do not ship outside of the U.S.
Which is unbelievable in this day and age.
Good 1950/1960 Comedies, but Vastly Overpriced.!

We've long awaited the DVD release of this classic comedy. Although not fully remastered and restored, the quality is very good.

DVD questions

Reviewed by Lanny, 2010-01-26

Folks, I know what the movie is about...that's available in many places. I truly know it's a classic.

My questions are regarding the DVD. Is it widescreen? If so is it anamorphic (16x9)?

Hilarious Classic

Reviewed by Jeffrey L. Palmer, 2009-09-19

This movie is a timeless classic. The entire case is delightful, and it sure stands the test of time. Tony Randall and Debbie Reynolds are perfect together, and it is possible that Randall's comedy outshines his turns in the Rock Hudson/Doris Day classics. A great family film, but just enjoyable for adults.
