3.0 out of 5 stars
Not one of his finest........,
By michelle.hurst@virgin.net (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Houseboat [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Cary Grant has few opportunities in this film to be the suave urbanite seducer we know and love him for - after all he has three children, no wife and an interfering family to cope with! Having said that, he shows his unfailing comic timing and while Sophia Loren is playing as usual, Sophia Loren, there are some nice touches. She's on the run and takes a job as housekeeper, mending hearts and bringing the family together. The dance scene is well done, giving Grant some great lines and allowing Sophia to shimmy around in a tight gold frock. Of course everyone lives happily ever after and it's amusing - it's just not one of his best. Sophia Loren is mis-cast - you can't help thinking that Ingrid Bergman would have done it so much better - but well, has Cary Grant ever been in a stinker?

4.0 out of 5 stars
great old style chick flick!,
By
This review is from: Houseboat [DVD] [1958] (DVD)
spoilt rich girl who longs to lead a normal life, takes up a job as a nanny/housekeeper with a widowed, wealthy businessman who doesn't know her secret...This is the kind of film that Sleepless in Seattle and While You Were Sleeping try to be! Good as those films are, they still can't match this one. The chemistry between Cary Grant and Sophia Loren is amazing (according to Hollywood gossip it spilled over into real life too!), the comedy is timed to perfection and the lavish sets and wardrobe is impeccable as always in those days. If you love the old style romantic comedies, you won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A classic feel-good movie.,

This review is from: Houseboat [DVD] [1958] (DVD)
The glamourous Sophia Loren, the on-screen chemistry and the feel-good factor all combined make this a classic must have. A little thin on the plot but other factors compensate.
