For those who love 60's Light Romantic Comedies starring Rock Hudson- this set is a real deal! These six movies are all from Universal Studios, in gorgeous eye popping color and all are beautiful Widescreen except for 1952's Has Anybody Seen My Gal, which is Full Frame. The films themselves are absolutely Universal picture perfect- they put 2 movies on each disc- for a total of 3 discs. There are also subtitles for those who need this feature. All 6 movies are rated 4-5 STARS by me for light fluff romantic 60's comedies that have gorgeous eye candy wardrobes, some truly stunning scenery and living spaces and beautiful stars. This is a solid 5 STAR SET. These are the films in this wonderful set: HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GAL (1952)- Rock Hudson and Piper Laurie. Set in the late 1920's, soda jerk Rock and Millicent (Piper) are in love and want to get married. Millicent’s mother has dreams of her daughter marrying for money, and when the family comes into money- things change quickly for everyone. A wonderful study how money changes people in this charming colorful period movie. 4 STARS. COME SEPTEMBER (1963)- Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida along with Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin. A New York businessman (Rock) goes to his Italian Villa every September for rest and relaxation with his beautiful Roman girlfriend (Gina). When he goes early for some R & R, he finds his Villa is being used as a hotel where guests include a group of girls of which one is Sandra Dee who meets another tourist (Bobby Darin) while staying at the beautiful villa. This was filmed in Italy- talk about gorgeous eye candy scenery! And Gina’s wardrobe is absolutely stunning! Rock and Gina really spark on film and Sandra and Bobby fell in love in this movie for real and married after filming. 5 STARS. MAN’S FAVORITE SPORT (1963)- Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss. A very funny comedy about fishing expert Rock who has never fished in his life. To avoid being exposed as a fraud in a news article, Rock gets a crash course in fishing from Paula. Delightful fun film where Rock and Paula are so cute together. 4 ½ STARS. STRANGE BEDFELLOWS (1965)- Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida. Rock and Gina pair up again only this time they are married. When fiery tempered Gina gets the best of Rock, they separate, only to find out that Rock’s high powered executive job likes family men for their company. So, having to pretend they are happily married, instead of getting a divorce, both quickly find out how they easily fall in love all over again. Another eye candy movie where Rock and Gina light up the screen. 4 ½ STARS. A VERY SPECIAL FAVOR (1965)- Rock Hudson and Leslie Caron along with Charles Boyer and Dick Shawn. A charismatic attorney who women can’t keep their hands off of- Rock- gets mixed up with an opposing counsel’s (Boyer) daughter (Caron). Boyer wants his daughter to not be an old maid at almost 30, spending all her time as a psycho analyst along with her mother loving feeble fiancé (Dick Shawn). Boyer wants Rock to show his daughter there is more to life than work and a boring fiancé. This pairing of Rock and Caron is interesting. There are no sparks flying as with Rock and Gina or Rock and Doris Day, yet there wouldn’t be with Caron playing such a dull character. However, the ending is wonderful and it’s interesting to see Rock with such a different partner than you’d expect. 4 STARS. BLINDFOLD (1965)- Rock Hudson and Claudia Cardinale. This is a gem of an action film paired with a bit of romantic comedy. Rock and Claudia light up the screen together. Rock plays a New York psychologist who is recruited by the government to help a former patient who happens to be a top secret scientist with top secret information. Every time the government agents take Rock to the secret place they are holding him, Rock is blindfolded. Claudia is the top secret scientist’s sister, who gets a phone call from her brother that he is in danger and needs help. Together, Rock and Claudia try to save her brother from some really bad guys. Beautifully filmed in New York, Claudia’s costumes are gorgeous and Rock and Claudia are wonderful together, not to mention the suspense keeps you watching. 5 STARS.
