Man’s Favorite Sport? - 1964 - 5/10
Fishing guru Roger knows the best gear, best techniques, best spots and times.
Thing is, he is a fraud. Has never fished, cannot swim, actually dislikes the life aquatic.
His unknowing boss orders him to compete in a tournament.
Forced “screwball” comedy mixes bland romance with farce situations.
Hudson and Prentiss are an appealing couple, but he is such a dunce to be unbelievable.
Curly Howard could carry off these stunts, Rock Hudson lives up to his first name.
As a boy, I found this film sidesplittingly funny.
Watched last night, an eager cast tries too hard, burdened with a stale script.
