You have me down for a copy, right? It sounds great, but then anything he did was great. Thanks, Marilyn

I've got DirecTV with an East Coast feed (3 a.m.) here on the West Coast, Lisa, so I set the TiVo! Kudos to you for your early viewing!! So, now I've got it twice if anyone wants a copy. I wanted to compare the surrounding comments to see if they'd changed any of it or if they had any at all. Robert Osborne intro'd it the first time I taped it. No mention of Richard, then, unfortunately.
It's a wonderfully crafted, period-piece movie - right down to the opening credits. You can see the future brilliance of Edwards' Pink Panther series starting to flower in this one. Hilarious characterizations all around, and Richard truly shone in his. Because he's so drop-dead gorgeous and delivers his lines so comfortably, I think Hollywood, typically, overlooked in many ways the brilliance of his work.
One interesting note: the kid in the final scene who mugged the camera at the dinner table was a very young Jon Provost - who later showed up as
Tommy Rettig's replacement on the "Lassie" series!
Yep! A great way to start the day and the weekend!
