 Rating:  - Hudson rocks the house - twice!Usually, if Rock's not seen getting his brains bashed in by Liz Taylor in Giant, he's being taken to the cleaners by Doris Day in the Doris/Rock trilogy. But in these two films (Sport & Bedfellows), Rock Hudson finally shows he can actually STAR instead of just co-star in a movie. It's a welcome change to see him carry the day (even if barely) while towing the leggy Paula and the chesty Gina along with him. This time out he does some keen outdoor stuff (in ... Read More Rating: - a great twoferThis wonderful twofer from Universal bundles together two of Rock Hudson's best 60s comedies, MAN'S FAVORITE SPORT? and STRANGE BEDFELLOWS. MAN'S FAVORITE SPORT? recounts the adventures of angling 'expert' Roger Willoughby (Rock Hudson) who is invited to take part in a prestigious fishing tournament. However, Roger can't even throw a line, let alone catch a fish! When press agent Abigail Page (the delightful Paula Prentiss) finds out about Roger's problem, she decides to give him the ... Read More Rating: - Rock Hudson gives literal meaning to cast in the part"Man's Favorite Sport" is well designed from beginning to end. Howard Hawks directed it. Do not know if it is a Hawks signature but this movie is a little chatty like "Bringing up Baby" ASIN: B00003CX9A and "Monkey Business" ASIN: 6302484448 Roger Willoughby (Rock Hudson) is found in several precarious positions by his fiancée. Once he has his tie caught in "Easy Muller's (Maria Perschy) zipper. In addition, of course Abigail (Paula Prentiss) is spotted coming from his bedroom in her night ... Read More Rating: - 5 for Man's Favorite Sport / 3 for Strange BedfellowsTwo packs are great. As long as you like both movies enough to buy them. That's not the case with this two pack of Rock Hudson movies, but at such a sweet price, it's hard to complain. Of these two films, Strange Bedfellows seems the weakest although, Gig Young makes the movie worthwile and Rock Hudson's character is likeable. The plot is a bit convoluted. It's basically an Opposites Attract film. This time the opposite lies in political opinions. The two charactes meet in Paris and within hours are married. ... Read More Rating:  - Not True WidescreenI've only checked out the Strange Bedfellows DVD, but was quickly disappointed to see it's not a true widescreen presentation, but rather, in order to give that illusion, they chopped off the bottom of the picture. I have this movie on VHS, both store-bought and taped from TV, and they have more at the bottom of the picture than this DVD. If you have both compare the shot of the close-up of the newspaper that comes shortly after the opening credits. On the VHS you can see the newspaper's photograph of Rock ... Read More |
