DVD Reviews of House Calls
DVD Review: House calls
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent and very funny movie. Highly recommended if you loved Walter Mathau like I did. My favorite movie of his was A New Leaf with Elaine May-they were both brilliant in their parts. I got a copy of A New Leaf from an English company that probably pirates them. But this one, along with many others, are wonderful.DVD Review: Freat Duo
Summary: 5 Stars
An all time favorite. Walter and Glenda are a perfect match - for comedy of the best kind. Added bonus is Richard Benjamin and Art CarneyDVD Review: Love Never Dies
Summary: 5 Stars
Walter Matthau is back in this top notch comedy about a middleaged widower who begins dating again; as to be expected, this middleaged casanova leaps from one relationship to another until he meets Ann, played by Glenda Jackson, a recent divorcee. The two then end up on a romantice rollercoaster ride that ends up to be an expose of the dating game. Art Carney adds his own brand of humor to this comedy of errors as he portrays an aging chief of surgery stumbling toward retirement. A thoroughly enjoyable trip through middleaged love.
DVD Review: Vintage Mattau
Summary: 4 Stars
Good period movie with fine performances by Mattau and Glenda Jackson. Mattau plays a Doctor who must choose between empty relationships with young sexpots or a good older woman. Guess who wins. Good representation of films of that era.DVD Review: House calls for whoopee
Summary: 5 Stars
"House Calls" is a delightful romantic comedy that focuses on prevalent social issues. Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson have a wonderful chemistry together. Art Carney plays to caricature the bumbling bureacrat and surgeon who is director of an unsuccesful hospital. Richard Benjamin, so popular in 1978 when the film was released, was charming as Matthau's foil.
Jackson and Matthau first meet when Jackson is a patient of an ancient medical practice administered by Carney's character. Matthau, a top surgeon and recent widower beset by younger social climbers seeking his attentions, rectifies the old treatment with a simple medical procedure.
They next meet as debaters on a television program. After all the chirpies, he is intrigued by a woman who is closer to his age and can think. How they get together is a hilarious scene and a natural development of a relationship, instead of his usual flowers, dinner, overnight roll in the sack, home the next morning.
The title refers, of course, to the house calls he makes to his younger dates, not in any way related to doctor visits. This film is enjoyable with a definite nod toward compatibility and marriage. According to my brother, "It's a pretty good movie," expressed with approval. Of course, I agree.
4.5 stars (Art Carney was annoying.)
