Customer Reviews

Rock Hudson gives literal meaning to "cast" in the part.

Roger Willoughby sells fishing equipment; he has also written a book on the subject. So it was inevitable that his boss would enter him in a major fishing tournament. However, Roger has a secret. Watch as his secret unfolds and the unique solution. Howard Hawks directed. As is Hawks’ signature, this movie is a little chatty like "Bringing up Baby" and "Monkey Business" Roger Willoughby (Rock Hudson) finds himself in several precarious positions with his fiancée. At one time, he had his tie caught in Easy Muller's (Maria Perschy) zipper. In addition to this, Abigail (Paula Prentiss) is spotted coming from his bedroom in her night attire. Norm Alden plays John Screaming Eagle, a local Native American who speaks like Tonto and sells many sacred items, such as Custer's scalp. In the end, they are carried away. You will also be carried away by this great comedy.
