If a Man Answers (1962)
This movie is so dated! The sole goal of Sandra Dee is to get married, and her mother spends all her energy teaching her how to hook an unsuspecting man by playing hard to get, lying, manipulating, and letting him think the proposal was all his idea. If he needs that much cajoling, maybe he doesn’t really want to get married – maybe he’ll be a lousy husband!
My prediction proves true. After Sandra Dee marries the womanizing photographer Bobby Darin, she turns into a cooking, cleaning housewife and expects marital bliss. But it isn’t long before his head gets turned by a new model, Stefanie Powers. Sandra goes back to her mother for advice. Micheline Presle takes her aside for a gigantic secret: the one book every woman should read in order to have a good marriage forever. How to Train Man’s Best Friend. I’m not kidding. The great secret every woman in 1962 should learn is to treat your husband like a puppy to be trained, and you’ll be happy for life! Really, folks, avoid this movie unless you really love dated mindsets and still laugh at silly ’60s sex jokes. It’s not even fun to see Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee together, since they’re squabbling the whole time. And if you’re waiting for Cesar Romero to show up, since he was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance, you’ll have an extremely long wait on your hands. He’s in the movie for about ten minutes, but they are the best ten minutes of the movie. The ending is quite funny, but you’ll have a lot to suffer through to get to it.
