Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzA disappointing dated and flat romantic comedy from the 1950s.
Movie Metropolis - 6/10 by John J. Puccio...makes a convenient time capsule for the fifties, and at its best it's an amusing romp.
User Review - 10/10 by Jakki Jone of my fave sinatra films he is so funny i love it
User Review - 10/10 by Miranda BI love this movie...watch it at least once a week
User Review - 10/10 by Jen LI don't know what it is about Celeste Holm but when I watch her, I see the type of person I wish I actually was. This is your typical playboy- reforms- to- win- the- girl- of- his- dreams-that-he-didn't-know-he-was-dreaming-of- and- wacky- hijinks- ensue sort of storyline. Plus Sinatra sings, and that always merits a swoon.
User Review - 10/10 by Nate T"You see a pair of laughing eyes, suddenly you're sighing sighs..." A must for any fan of Sinatra's work. The cast is in top form.
User Review - 8/10 by John SIt's nothing spectacular or extraordinary, but it's extremely enjoyable nonetheless. Fans of Sinatra will enjoy it especially, but the non-fans may not have as much fun. There's not much going on here, but the story is actually fairly interesting and keeps you watching. There's nothing bad you can really say about it aside from it being rather ordinary, but there's nothing that will really ruin your experience. So, you're guaranteed to enjoy.
User Review - 8/10 by TonyPolitoIf nothing else, the film should be seen for its iconic first two minutes, where, from out of a blue-sky backdrop, swaggers Sinatra - draped in sharkskin, tipped fedora and Cinemascope - hands in pockets, staking his claim on Cahn/VanHeusen's title tune. Here, Frank's signature style is on full on show and at its best. 'The tender trap' is, of course, love and marriage. And Frank's been meticulously sidestepping it in favor of his harem-like, 24/7-swingin', ring-a-ding-dingin' Manhattan bachelor pad - until stubborn, altar-focused Debbie Reynolds turns up toting small-town naivete and expectations that Frank cough up a ring and his little black book. Sinatra and married wingman (Wayne) role-swap: Frank's got Debbie under his skin, Wayne's a-wooin' Frank's pick-of-the-litter (Holm). Holm's of sharp wit/word; she knows the rules of the mid-Century marriage game better than them all. Throw in a few trivial subplots and soon enough, there's an engagement, a marriage or a break-up every sixty seconds. When the game of musical chairs ends, love has conquered all. From a long-running Broadway play. Not quite the Doris Day sex-comedy, but clearly foreshadows & inspires them: Debbie's the lone 'good girl' in the dugout, Wayne's the foil that is Frank's conscience, positions later held by Tony Randall and Gig Young. Snappy/witty dialogue abounds - "How much money you makin?" "Almost as much as I'm spending." - "I've seen you somewhere before." "It's just this face of mine, it's what every girl is wearing this season." Plus there's dramatic sprinkles on the cone in the form of (well-dated) volleys on topics such as marriage versus career, girlie versus wife, playboy versus husband. In this film, such sprinkles are often the better part of the cone. RECOMMENDATION: Captures well the time. Well recommended for those who appreciate the period/genre.
User Review - 8/10 by Jo DGreat movie. Interesting to see that not much has changed in the world of dating in your 30's and living in NYC since this movie took place in 1955
User Review - 8/10 by Ryan MLike virtually hundreds of other pre-feminist films, 'The Tender Trap' posits "love and marriage" as the solution to problems of impotency, existential hang-ups, et al; however, the movie gets increasingly better as it works to complicate this tired sociological equation responsible for so many bad movies. Though the film in its resolution ultimately squares with the social mores it had worked to undermine, it remains interesting for its middle chunk, which is a loopy, farcical game of romantic musical chairs. Wayne and Holm carry the movie through to mixed success.
