Sea S 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 ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Audience Member The best comedy movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie that Im sure few have ever seen. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I still remember laughing my hat off while watching this film during my early teen years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review bill t Fun little movie isn't going to change the world, but it's cute. 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A lackluster comedy in which (Vincent Price) totally steals the show.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
