Product Description

Can this outrageous rent-a-husband scheme work? .... Superior quality video tape recorded in the LP Mode... Jack Lemmon is in peak form as a harried ad man in this scintillating comedy. As the only clean-living person at his agency, Sam Bissel (Lemmon) is put in charge of its most important account, Nurdlinger's Dairy, headed by straight-laced Simon Nurdlinger (Edward G. Robinson). Sam and his wife Min (Dorothy Provine) celebrate the promotion with longtime friend Janet Lagerlof (Romy Schneider), who has good news of her own. She stands to inherit $15 million -- but only if she is happily married. Since Janet has just seperated from her husband, she offers her good neighbor Sam $1 million if he will play the part. As complications multiply, Sam and Janet are forced to continue the charade, both to win her inheritance and to advance his career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterically funny!, August 11, 2007

By	O'hickadee "O'hickadee" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

I can remember looking forward to seeing this movie on tv while growing up. It is one of the FUNNIEST movies ever made! From the spy inside the vacuum truck (and the mounted vacuum on the top of the truck) while using the vacuum on top as a periscope to spy on the neighbors (Good Neighbor Sam) to the Hertz car man flying into the convertible and tripping over the car as he flies into it. What a fabulous movie this is! PLEASE PLEASE bring this out on DVD!! It is definitely one of Jack Lemmon's best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Neighbor Sam Movie, December 28, 2007

By	Myra E. Mcgraw - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a great "old" movie! Not the quality we're used to today, but the storyline was wonderfully funny. The seller sent this movie extremely FAST as they stated they would, and the condition of this movie was as described. (It was a used VHS version). I was very pleased with my purchase and shipping experience.
