Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! (1966)

PLUS: Lost in Space (1965) music - MINUS: not enough Cesare Danova

[9/10 · 26 December 2019]

I saw this as a youngster with my sister during it's original premiere and it's certainly NOT one of the 50 worst films "EVER" - instead it is an enjoyable elongated sitcom pilot. Elke is very attractive and has some insane stunts and situations to endure - all three main womens hair and clothes are hysterical - the mistakes are very noticeable, my personal favorite being the first time Bob & Elke meet at a property he's trying to sell after he feels sorry for her plight, etc. where they eventually have a disagreement & she throws a vase at him which shatters before it hits the door he's just run through and closed behind him - debris and flowers flying everywhere, there are several bloopers but it's all good fun - as mentioned in my title - there are musical snippets by the John Williams collection featured in the campy 1965-1968 CBS TV series Lost in Space, which as a 9 year old at the time was my favorite show - missing is the very attractive 40ish Cesare Danova who should have been featured (and as naked) as often as Elke - he's just barely in it at all but quite stunning - in spite of that, there's a lot to enjoy so grab your favorite bag of chips or bag of popcorn & Coke or beer and allow yourself to enjoy an hour and a half mid 1960's time capsule. Enjoy! :)
