Man's Favorite Sport? is a very funny (and ironic) spoof on male role-playing. With this film, Paula Prentiss helped to establish a new role model for women in the 60's, dominated by Doris Day. As Abigail Page, Paula plays a strong-willed young woman who is ready to test herself professionally and sexually with any man. Rock Hudson was very good too, while Howard Hawks displayed his cinematic know-how in a affectionate and less aggressive version of his screwball comedies of the past. Good Henry Mancini score for lots of slapstick scenes and romantic interludes.
