5.0 out of 5 stars SEX COMEDY - 1960s Style, February 10, 2011

This review is from: Boy's Night Out [Remaster] (DVD)

BOYS NIGHT OUT is finally available remastered on DVD. Pillow Talk has had more said about it and its social reflection then this little gem from the same director. This is the era when Playboy magazine and "The Pill" were becoming major influences on the so-called Sex Revolution in the US. Boys Night Out is a sex comedy that is very much tied to this time, which in this case quickly dates it but that is true of most comedy. Next to Pillow Talk, I personally feel Boys Night Out is the better film. With Boys Night Out we just have more fun - the writing is better, the directing/editing is tighter and the cast is superb. And what a cast, you can't go wrong with Kim Novak and James Garner and the many supporting actors are Hollywood's best. Note: The title song's clever lyrics were written by the great Sammy Cahn and sung by cast member Patti Page. So set your sexual mores back to 1962 and sit back and enjoy this light romp of lust and love. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Entertaining, November 12, 2006

By 

goosefish (Durham, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boys' Night Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There were a lot of humorous surprises in this movie. For starters, James Garner lives with his mother and is a nerdy weather buff! Then there's Kim Novak, who takes to the role of a seductress with aplomb, only a minute after she arrives for what she thought was an apartment inspection. The 1950s-style paternalism all the men dish out to Novak in spite of their lurid extramarital fantasies is downright charming. I give this movie two thumbs up, and am sure you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars It beats the 11:35, May 10, 2000

This review is from: Boys' Night Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Fred, Doug, George, and Howie (James Garner, Howard Duff, Tony Randall, and Howard Morris) Share the commuter train daily to and from work. On Wednesdays they spend the night at Slattery's bar, away from home and family, until the 11:35 commuter train. Fred's boss spends Wednesday nights out in his "home away from home."

One day Howie confiscates a copy of Playmate magazine from his son's lunch box. This gives the commuters an idea.

Kim Novak (Cathy) is a sociologist who finds a perfect setup for applied research. Now before you cover your kid's eyes, it is not that type of movie. In fact, every time a juicy story starts, some train comes by and all we get is the punch line. It must be an educational movie as the husbands tell their wives that they signed up for classes at "The new School for Social Research." I looked it up and the school is real. One class is "creative accounting"

Be sure to look at the cast list. It is fun to try to remember other movies that they were in.
