4.0 out of 5 stars Debbie Reynolds...she made the movie worth seeing!, April 29, 1999

This review is from: Mating Game [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was just a teenager when I saw this movie, when it first came out. I loved it. I fell in love with Debbie Reynolds...but so did most of the guys my age back then. Tony Randall was great! It is a very old fashioned movie, one that made you laugh, and in the end one that made you feel good. We need more movies like that today. I have to say, being able to own the movie myself, and being able to watch it again, will be great. I'm going to order a copy...but, don't count on being able to borrow it, I'm going to be watching it too much, and then having my children watch it, too. They are going to love it, just like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars THOSE FABULOUS FIFTIES!, February 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mating Game [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A slightly risque farce [for that time] about Tax Guy Tony Randall investigating 'unpaid taxes' [something about the Civil War] and spending some time on the Larkin farm with young Debbie and the rest of the brood. Oh, there's just something about that fresh country air! Tony Randall says volumes with just a gesture here and there but keep away from the moonshine - that's when things really become complicated, and he is not quite sure, or cannot quite recall just what happened in the barn......was it?

Great support from Paul Douglas and Una Merkel as Pa and Ma Larkin. Truly a great romp on the widescreen with Debbie Reynolds - always providing the fun!

Quite a joy on a gloomy day! Great double-bill with Debbie as "Tammy" [the one and only original!].

This review is from: The Mating Game (DVD)

We've long awaited the DVD release of this classic comedy. Although not fully remastered and restored, the quality is very good.
