4.0 out of 5 stars Campy/fun enough that I still remember it 30+ years later., September 4, 2006

This review is from: ARNOLD (VHS Tape)

I saw this in the theater around 1972. A rich man wants to marry his young mistress, but is blocked by his spiteful wife who refuses to grant a divorce, declaring that only death will end their marriage.

Oh, the things we do for women! The movie opens as the pallbearers carry the man in his coffin to the front of the church, stand it up next to his wedding-gown-clad mistress, pop a tape of recorded responses into the coffin's built-in tape deck, and signal the minister to proceed.

After the wedding ceremony, the body must lie in state in the home for several days, during which each of the family members and household staff pass the time trying to find his treasure for themselves before any of the others.

Remember the tape deck in the coffin? In a marvelous display of early 70's wireless technology, as each person in the house shows the deceased was right not to trust them the tape deck comes on and delivers a personalized message through one of the speakers conveniently located in every room. Essentially it's an "I knew I was right about you!" kind of thing, right before they meet a gruesome end in a funny making-the-punishment-fit-the-crime kind of way.

I remember this movie as being a lot of fun in a campy sort of way.

This is an excellent movie. Its very creepy. Its about a rich man who dies and teaches his family a fatal lesson about real love and loyalty. Its a very juicy and unique movie. Even the theme song is cheerful yet spooky.

This review is from: ARNOLD (VHS Tape)

Hot Stella Stevens and an all star cast attend the wedding of Arnold, who is already dead.Will everyone be killed by Arnold?

I saw this at a drive-in in the early 70's and never forgot it.

Enjoy
