Audience Member Absolutely good comedy here. Don’t get any better than James Stewart and Sandra day. Yes I highly recommend it. James Welch who is in Arkansas September 11, 2023. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Steve D Not amusing at all, really uncomfortable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of fun. Do yourself a favor and see it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Jimmy Stewart delivers father role with witty commentary. Forget the RT review, this isn't about a girl taking up with long haired hippies! Hey, its 1963 in the Beatnik era when folk and causes were just starting. Jimmy Stewart plays the ever worried father of a very sought after daughter. The movie has lots of cliche moments and funny dialog. Bob Denver of Gilligan's Island and Dobbie Gillis has a bit role as a coffee shop poet with guitar.

SEE the entire film comedy here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atFNj6SPKUU While about an hour too long for me I got the general idea of the plot in the first 20 minutes. But its generally a feel good film about parents and their older kids and quite true too!

Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally. Shortly after this commercial, KLIF suspended all regular programming and commercials for continuous developments which would evolve into the official announcement of Kennedy's death. 2 The original Broadway production of Take Her, She's Mine played at the Biltmore Theatre on Broadway and ran for 404 performances from December 21, 1961, to December 8, 1962.

If you have time you should see it, though, for Robert Morley's amazingly underplayed loony. Her Ladyship noticed Jim Nabors's uncredited cameo, but I didn't recognize him. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member James Stewart is a hoot! Especially during the whole masquerade party and costume, as well as, in NOT being the famous, James Stewart.
