Sea S 06/13/2024 One of my very favorite old comedy films. Ronald Coleman convinces as the brilliant, dignified "walking encyclopedia" who knows about everything except - as it turns out - affairs of the heart. Here we see a young Art Linkletter as a game show host, Barbara Britton as Coleman's understanding sister, and and over the top Celeste Holm as a devious femme fatale. But Vincent Price steals the show : he plays an eccentric CEO about to lose his company, and his mind ! See more @TMProofreader 01/27/2019 The best comedy movie ever made!

Ronald Coleman stars as a bookbody wanting to one up the soap company he recently applied for a job to. So he appears on the quiz program sponsored by the soap company and proceeds to get every question right, much to their chagrin. The best part of this is Vincent Price, way past his usual realm of horror, as the soap company kingpin. Pretty surreal, but not the best thing you'll see.
