Product Description
Can armed robbery save a marriage? This comedy starring Natalie Wood, Peter Falk, Dick Shawn and Jonathan Winters debates this and other questions about modern relationships. Penelope (Wood) marries James Elcott (Ian Bannen) after a very brief courtship, and as his star rises in the banking business, he spends less and less time with her. Penelope devises what she thinks is a good plan to get James' attention -- disguising herself as an old lady and robbing his bank. Unfortunately, the robbery is successful, and now Penelope has bigger problems on her hands. Adding extra fizz to this effervescent caper comedy is buoyant and joyful music from John Williams' early days as a film composer. Williams demonstrates his skills with pop and jazz in a score that includes the title tune, featuring lyrics by Leslie Bricusse (Victor/Victoria, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory).

I love all romantic comedies from the 60's, and this features the beautiful Natalie Wood in a romantic comedy caper. As beautiful as Natalie Wood is, I have always thought she never looked more beautiful than she did in the late 60's films, like Bob & Carol and Ted & Alice and Penelope. The movie revolves around Penelope (Natalie Wood) and her banker husband James B. Elcott (Ian Bannen). Penelope feels neglected with a banker husband who spends all his time working, so she turns to taking things, like with a child who wants attention, even if it’s bad attention, only no one suspects a rich, beautiful banker’s wife would steal anything, and this is where a lot of the comedy lies. The movie takes you back in time to show us why Penelope has this problem of stealing, beginning with her College Professor Klobb played by Jonathan Winters. We get to see how she met her banker husband while singing in a Beatnik Club (and Natalie does her own singing of the song- The Sun Is Gray), The Plush Pig. The police who are involved in the bank robberies include Lt. Horatio Bixby played by Peter Falk and Penelope has a psychiatrist analyst Gregory played by the hilarious Dick Shawn. Dick Shawn needs his own analyst dealing with Natalie, and like everyone in this film can't help but fall in love with her.
There are endless close-ups of Natalie and the film is restored so sharp, you can see every tiny freckle on her face- even with the softening effect they use for close ups. The film has many scenes in New York back in 1966, and I really loved when Natalie runs in and out of the exclusive Bergdorf Goodman’s, where I can window shop seeing all the gorgeous high end 60's clothes. The streets of New York are fabulous, Natalie’s gorgeous wardrobe of designer clothes costing the studio $250,000 are made by Edith Head, she lives in an absolutely stunning New York apartment decorated just gorgeous and Natalie looks beyond beautiful in every scene. Even though the script is pure fluff, like almost all the 60's romantic fun comedies, Natalie still shines. This gorgeous Blu-ray will make any die-hard Natalie Wood fan or lover of 60's fluff romantic comedies happy. There are also 2 Special Features- Edith Head Featurette showing Natalie posing in the Edith Head costumes and the Theatrical Trailer. For the rarity of seeing this film again with the beautiful Natalie Wood, filmed in New York with eye candy scenery and interiors and a great comedic supporting group of actors, even with it’s weak script and pure fluff, this gorgeously restored Blu-ray still gets 4 STARS.

Il film è una leggera e simpatica commedia senza troppe pretese, consigliata più che altro ai fan della bellissima Natalie Wood. Nel cast figura anche il futuro Tenente Colombo Peter Falk.
