Love love love this movie - Similar recommendations?


One of the best comedies in my opinion, I know i am going to watch this again & again. Cannot believe this was made way back in 64, I totally wished I lived in those days to be able to meet these actors in their prime.

Anyone can recommend similar movies... with similar setting or comic style?

reply

The most obvious recommendations for a similar film would be Howard Hawks' earlier film "Bringing Up Baby"(1938) of which "Man's Favorite Sport?" is a partial remake of. Another would be "What's Up Doc?"(1972) another partial remake of "Bringing Up Baby".

If you're looking for a similar type comedy film of the same time period, I would recommend "Father Goose"(1964) and "The Thrill Of It All"(1963).

Thank you, I am looking for the titles you recommended.

I watched Hawks' "I Was a Male War Bride" - it wasn't this good, but still quite funny.
