Anyone watching it now on TMC?


It's a hoot and I always like to see it when it is on....I love the oozoo and keneche. The whole film is hilarious. I wish they still made them like this!

Yes, I'm watching it tonight. Love this movie! It's a film I wish I "lived in" - in a crappy flat in that crazy apartment building with Paul and Corie and Mr. Velasco as neighbors, back in the swinging 60s. *sigh* Love this movie!

Im watching it too. Theres new things I realize everytime I see it.

I'm watching it right now; t's a wonderful film! They don't make them like this anymore. I've probably seen it a dozen times and will probably watch it another dozen times.

It's on tonite -- 10-18-09 !! i can't wait. I love the music, the swingin' 60's charm, the apartment, the Plaza Hotel (i'm going to stay there someday!!), Mildred Natwick and Charles Boyer! I'm reading up on it, haven't seen it in a few years! Last Christmas i bought the DVD for my son's girlfriend - she's 23 and already knew about it and loves it too!

This is one of me and hubby's favorite movies! Reminds us of when we first married. A great film, wish they made more like this. Redford is hot, love the mom and Mr. Velasco, and Jane Fonda is great too.

I'm watching it too. I love her mom - Ms. Natwick is such a great actor and class act.

Mildred Natwick was a wonderful actress. From The Widow Tillane in "The Quiet Man" to the housekeeper in "The Enchanted Cottage", she's been in some of my all-time favorite movies. She was one-of-a-kind. Like Joan Blondell and Eve Arden and Thelma Ritter, she was a "type" all her own.

And that distinctive voice! What a dear.

Saw it again the morning. Very cute movie.

saw it today, extremely confusing to me.

I've seen this movie several times but last night I was focused on the mother. MN was really a terrific actress...she had me laugh out loud several times just by the expressions on her face or her reactions...lol, loved her embarrassed giggle!

Yes, I watched it last night and enjoyed it again for the umpteemth time.

Natwick (who could have passed for my maternal grandmother in looks and manner) manages to walk off with the entire film, which is no small feat, given that Redford and Jane Fonda (and Charles Boyer) are so wonderful. Herb Edelman as the telephone repair man - absolutely superb as well.

I love this movie for a very simple reason - each time I see it, it never fails to make me laugh. The acting, writing, chemistry, direction -- all all gels so beautifully here. Love the Neal Hefti score as well.

Yeah, i watched this again last night and I was still laughing at many of the comic scenes. Nice, light film, that doesn't say much but still remains enjoyable.

I thought the Redford and the mother of Corie were the best performers in the film. They both managed to be funny and comic despite being tagged as the "stuffed shirts" characters. Loved Paul's drunken scene.
