Put Once More, My Darling into the machine the other day. I really didn't know what to expect - never saw it before. Figured I was in for another version of The Bachelor & the Bobby-Soxer. Nope, I had a good laugh instead.Now I'll admit, the story creeped me out a bit at first - the 19 year old & the older guy bit. I got over it.
How can I explain this...the movie has all the goods Bob could put out: the years of experience, the comedic timing, directing. Voila - an entertaining & well done film.
Some of my fav parts of the film:
- The studio scene & the whole Scottish getup
- Anytime you hear Ann Blyth being called 'Killer'
- The limo driver - Charles McGraw
- The Captain getting hauled back into the Army - with mom along side
- Pajamas at the night club
- Old Las Vegas

Bob's manner after he gummed up his lines in the studio scene really cracked me up. I thought the script was very good, with lots of funny lines. I'm surprised this film is never shown on TV.
It's probably stuck in the "AMC" film library, doomed to sit in a back corner, or get stuck with commercials on the late, late movie...
I love the scene in the Vegas motel when Bob gets involved in a brawl. That's something you hardly ever saw him do.
I adore this film!!:) Too bad it's pretty much doomed to obscurity.
Charles McGraw certainly suffered a most unusual death.
That's why I have a crappy vinyl shower curtain :0)
