5.0 out of 5 stars Cute but Intelligent Comedy, July 31, 2001
By 
This review is from: Goodbye Charlie [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Vincente Minnelli directed this lively and intelligent version of George Axelrod's play about a gangster who dies and returns as a very lovely female: Debbie Reynolds. She has to convince Tony Curtis that she or he is really back! This is one of those great color CinemaScope situation comedies that were so popular back in the good old days of the 60s. You have to accept the situation to enjoy the plot and appreciate the humor. The cast also includes Pat Boone, Walter Matthau, Martin Gabel and Ellen (McRae) Burstyn. This is a real product of that feel-good time during the 60s. I always enjoyed this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars An truly twisted '60s sex comedy, December 10, 2002
This review is from: Goodbye Charlie [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Woah! Call the Gender Studies class in to explain this one to me... Debbie Reynolds stars as the feminine reincarnation of a no-good philandering wolf named Charlie; Tony Curtis is the best (and perhaps only) friend who was dragooned into reading the eulogy at Charlie's funeral. Of course, when Debbie shows up on the beach naked and with amnesia, Curtis at first gets drawn into the mystery, and then falls in love with... his old best friend(!) Where to begin? This has Reynolds ogling other girls in the dressing room, Walter Matthau (who had shot Charlie at the beginning of the film) hitting on Reynolds, Charlie golddigging with a hapless rich boy (played by Pat Boone) and finally, the romantic scenes between Curtis and Reynolds... the levels of homoeroticism in this film are so multifarious and bizarre, that it's truly, astoundingly mind-boggling. I really wish I could know more about the genesis of this project... How this project got green-lighted in the first place is a source of continual amazement... You really have to see it to believe it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Tony Curtis and Debbie Reynolds Are Hilarious!, August 11, 2000

Alex Udvary (chicago, il United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Goodbye Charlie [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Judging by the amount of reviews written here,obviously this isn't a popular film. But just in case someone actually looks up this movie,I have to let you know this is a wonderful,silly,amusing comedy. Curtis and Reynolds are perfect on-screen together. Both deliver fun performances,as does Pat Boone. Here's a good movie to watch when your a little down,and in need of a laugh. It will definitely bring a smile on your face. A little personal note:A remake followed this film some 20 years later Blake Edward's "Switch". But between the two I prefer this one.
