Dated, very dated, but a few good laughs.

The laughs, in my own experience, are meagre rather than abundant in this "Jewish family" comedy starring Frank Sinatra as a not-quitc-fortyish bachelor who coaches his adolescent brother in the folkways of a playboy's life.

... like a cartoonish fantasy of the Mad Men sensibility of philandering men who treat the female sex as a buffet for their perusal.

Come Blow Your Horn is a decent film. It is about Buddy Baker arrives unannounced at the luxurious Manhattan apartment of his older brother, Alan. Frank Sinatra and Lee J. Cobb give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Bud Yorkin did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor and music.

***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.***
