 Fun Stuff September 9, 2008
I grew up watching Sandra Dee movies. I loved them then and still love them. This is my favorite one. It is funny, romantic, and good for all ages to watch. I would recommend this to any one who wants to return to the good old days, where love is love, no violence, and best of all happy endings. Enjoy !
 Dee and Darin Make It Work April 3, 2008

This is a cute farce but I found the story plodding at times. Dee and Darin make the entire thing work. They're funny, adorable and make a cute couple.
The story itself is off balance. I couldn't identify with any of the characters.
It was nice to see Dee as a domestic wife who knew how to cook!! She didn't in real life. And its kind of sad to watch her as well knowing that she battled anorexia all her life. If it is true that the camera adds ten pounds then Dee was rail thin because she's nothing but skin and bones in this feature, although still beautiful and charming.
Darin does well by his role and he's too charming not to be loveable.
The movie is worth a look but it won't be among my favorites. I much prefer Dee and Darin in "That Funny Feeling" instead.
Dee and Darin get 5 stars. The movie only gets 3.

Chantel Stacey (Sandra Dee) is the very French daughter of an American father and a French mother who met, fell in love, and married in Paris. She is very pretty and all the boys like her (she likes them too). So when her Dad decides it is time for her to start thinking about marriage, she comes home the next day with three engagement rings! As Chantel can't decide between her three fiances, she chooses to return all the rings. But she gets discouraged and tells her mother, "I haven't even been proposed to in a whole week!"
They move to New York where she meets Eugene (Bobby Darin),a fashion photographer who's not at all interested in marriage...until Chantel changes his mind! After they get married, she follows her smart mother's advice and reads a book about how to have "the perfect husband." Things get quite hilarious after that!
This is a very cute and enjoyable movie!

Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin play out an entertaining 'Junior Miss' variation of "Pillow Talk" in the sparkling romantic comedy IF A MAN ANSWERS (directed by Henry Levin, based on a novel by Winifred Wolfe).
Sandra Dee plays Chantal Stacy, a half-American, half-French and all-New York glamour girl, who stumbles across the path of photographer Eugene Wright (played by Bobby Darin). The sparks fly and they're soon married, though Eugene still clings to his comfortable bachelor lifestyle. Chantal's mother (Micheline Presle) supplies her with the key to the perfect marriage...a book on how to train your dog! The same principles apply to husbands, apparently. Pretty soon, Chantal has Eugene precision-trained, until the situation dissolves into comedic chaos when he discovers the deception...and turns the tables on Chantal!
IF A MAN ANSWERS is a delightful screen outing for Dee and Darin, and while the movie as a whole seems a direct steal from "Pillow Talk", it's a very fun ride. It's great seeing Micheline Presle here, too. The movie also features John Lund, Cesar Romero and Stefanie Powers.
The DVD transfer is sharp and bright for the most part, tightly-letterboxed in 2.00:1 anamorphic widescreen. The trailer is also included. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).
