    This is one of my all time favorite movies. Paula Prentiss' character is just so carefree and Rock Hudson's character is just trying to stay sane when he is with her. Fun storyline and great acting.

    Saw this on the big screen and laughed all the way through it. Glad to see it is available on DVD. Poor Roger. He is engaged but this woman Abigail that he is not engaged to causes him nothing but trouble from the get go. First she gets him in a fishing competition and even though he wrote a book on the subject, he has never been fishing or camping or any of that other sportsman's type stuff. No, fishing is not the topic of Man's Favorite Sport. We all know watching women is. However, Roger tries to stay out of trouble in that regard but just can't seem to avoid it.
