Boy's Night Out [Remaster]

Most reviews tag this film as a sex comedy when in reality it is more of a comic observation about the sexes. The film debunks the wide held belief that men have a one track mind and want one thing from women. Pause for a moment and think about the relationships between men and their mothers and you get the picture. Sure men think they yearn to be like Hugh Hefner yet truth be told they desire nothing more than a home cooked meal or a listening partner than a roll in the hay. On the reverse coin women think they can view male-female relationships with cool detachment as represented by Kim Novak's post-grad sociology student. That is, of course, if the male isn't represented by cool hunky nice guy James Garner. The film has a funny astute script that makes cogent observations and the cast is uniformly excellent. Ultimately the film comes down as a celebration of marriage and fidelity. A great snapshot of male-female relationships circa 1962 that hold true to this day.

Good-but-not great 1962 comedy/satire about three suburbanites (Tony Randall, Howard Duff, Howard Morris), their divorced friend (James Garner) and the psychologist (Kim Novak) who thinks she can corral them all while studying "adolescent sexual fantasies in the American male." Cute, but as far as satires go, I'd check out RALLY ROUND THE FLAG, BOYS! or LOVER, COME BACK first. With Janet Blair, Jessie Royce Landis, and Patti Page (who also sings the title song).

The DVD delivered quickly and ran flawlessly. Good quality and fast delivery which is really what a review should be about.Reviewing the movie: this was one of the good story line classics with some major stars and the blond. Good old fashioned clean comedy movie you can watch with the family. No bad language, no nudity, no violence. Just good old fashioned humorous reflection of how life used to be with the lesson that the grass is never greener on the other side. An 'easy watch' fun family movie.

This film is a delightful look at the stereotypical married male who isn't satisfied with what he has at home and yearns to be a "player." Of course, it is a period piece now and, even though by today's standards, quite tame considering the subject matter, it is still worth watching more than once. I added it to my library because James Garner was an actor I always admired and from my home state of Oklahoma. I also remember my mother owning a copy of a manual that was an eye-opener for a small girl. It had something to do with the Kinsey Report. Hollywood does make light of illicit behavior in this film but it was definitely worth a "G" rating. Truly a great film!

I've loved this 'adult' comedy since I was a kid and am still a big fan of 60s comedies. Back then you could watch movies only when they chose to air them, no VHS or DVD at that time. I would look for it year after year on TCM afterward. As soon as the DVD came out, I bought it immediately. Fairly typical sex comedy starring Kim Novak and James Garner. If you don't love them: you're crazy! Yes, it's dated, but it's still good. Add Tony Randall to the mix and you're off. I really recommend this for nostalgic reasons, humor and silliness.

I'm a fan of 60's sex comedies, and you can't fault the fine cast, but the script is mediocre at best. Dust off Any Wednesday, How to Murder Your Wife or A Guide for the Married Man instead.

Love the chemistry between James Garner and Kim Novak in this comedy about four men who want to rent an apartment to get away from the wives once a week. James Garner, the only unmarried man of the bunch secures the apartment while Kim Novak shows up to rent the apartment. She ends up living in the apartment and under a sociology thesis project, she gives each man what they were lacking at home with their own wives!

I received this DVD new and in a timely manner (as expected). Quality was excellent: no skip, stop, played perfect. It was the first time I'd seen this movie and it definitely has replay value! Of course with James Garner, Tony Randall & Howard Duff, just to name a few, what else would one expect? This movie is a hoot & worth every penny!

Purchased for an elderly gentleman friend.He is very pleased with it.Perfect condition .Recommend product.

Tras un planteamiento prometedor y a pesar de los excelentes actores, la comedia se desplaza hacia el tópico, la falta de ingenio para desarrollar las supuestamente hilarantes situaciones y diálogos literarios, es decir, poco naturales.Quiere uno divertirse y no lo consigue. No hay sorpresas ni gags afortunados. Y sí una moralina familiar un tanto empalagosa.

I bought this for a family member and it was shipped directly to their home. I understand they were pleased and the delivery was fairly fast.

Wild and wonderful. The cover suggests something quite different. It holds up well as a comedy from the sixties.

Bring a big Tony Randall and Kim Novack Fan, I loved this movie. I enjoy most of the films of this era. Tony Randall has to be the best out of the lot, personal opinion. No matter what role he has done, he has always done a great job, another versatile actor who unfortunately was not given such great opportunity to show what he could have done. From Pillow Talk, Boys Night Out, Our Man in Marrakech to No Down Payment. Tony Randall was a Great Actor :-)
