"A man is a man until he marries, then he becomes a husband!"

Rating:

Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin play out an entertaining 'Junior Miss' variation of "Pillow Talk" in the sparkling romantic comedy IF A MAN ANSWERS (directed by Henry Levin, based on a novel by Winifred Wolfe).

Sandra Dee plays Chantal Stacy, a half-American, half-French and all-New York glamour girl, who stumbles across the path of photographer Eugene Wright (played by Bobby Darin). The sparks fly and they're soon married, though Eugene still clings to his comfortable bachelor lifestyle. Chantal's mother (Micheline Presle) supplies her with the key to the perfect marriage...a book on how to train your dog! The same principles apply to husbands, apparently. Pretty soon, Chantal has Eugene precision-trained, until the situation dissolves into comedic chaos when he discovers the deception...and turns the tables on Chantal!

IF A MAN ANSWERS is a delightful screen outing for Dee and Darin, and while the movie as a whole seems a direct steal from "Pillow Talk", it's a very fun ride. It's great seeing Micheline Presle here, too. The movie also features John Lund, Cesar Romero and Stefanie Powers.

The DVD transfer is sharp and bright for the most part, tightly-letterboxed in 2.00:1 anamorphic widescreen. The trailer is also included. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).
