Howard Hawks did a very great funny movie in the 1930's : Bringing up Baby. So, many years later, he said : let's do it again, but in another way. Paula Prentiss had the very same character than Katharine Hepburn in Bringing up. And Rock Hudson had a very similar character than Cary Grant in the thirties classic. There's also one similar scene : the broken dress of Maria Perchy. You can see it in Bringing up baby. Another viewer said there's also similarities with a William Powell movie. I don't mean that Man's Favorite Sport is a bad movie. But I do think that's it's not very original, there's no new ideas in it. For me, that's the great problem, even if I had pleasant moments watching it. Paula Prentiss is very funny, even with the shadow of Katharine Hepburn behind her in every minute of this movie...
