Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
spost8260 So this movie is silly? It has plenty of charm and light heartedness! It's innocent and funny. It's really worth a look especially if you're a (female) Martin Milner fan! You can find this on video currently at www.thevideobeat.com It was worth the purchase because it had been so long since I had seen it and it was only more charming since I've become older. Mickey Rooney as the devil? Can you imagine Andy Hardy in a padded snake suit? I found that extremely hilarious, just that alone! I'm not really a fan of Mamie Van Doren, so her part is difficult to watch (though I'm sure she would be a sight for the male audience). All in all, the cast is excellent, the story is sweet. I honestly can't understand why the decency brigade tagged it...I know things were strict growing up, but there's really nothing dirty at all about it...unless you have a really filthy mind?
ockid44 I saw this movie as a kid and I cannot remember much about it. But I do remember Mickey Rooney and I thought he was hilarious. I remember Milner playing Adam. I remembered him because he starred in TV series Route 66.The movie caught my attention as a child because I went to church regular and I was very familiar with the Biblical Adam and Eve story.Like I stated, I cannot remember much but I have always wanted to see the movie again. It was corny but fun.I would love to buy a copy of it to see if the movie would be just as funny as it was years ago.
ccmiller1492 Very peculiar comedy is alternately clever and lame... but ultimately it succeeds in providing some mild amusement. It's hard to fathom why it was so soundly condemned in its day, perhaps making a surreal comic travesty out of part of the Bible was just too far ahead of its time. It is certainly far less irreverent than "The Life of Brian." Some sequences (such as the devil's playing piano and having a barbecue) may have provided the inspiration for such scenes as the Herod scene in "Jesus Christ, Superstar." Another thing that might have irritated the bluestockings is the fact that Adam, Eve, and Lillith are definitely hot, Milner looking better out of his clothes than he ever looked in them. It's kind of like a sexy, live action Flinstones, altogether harmless and amusing. Catch the cave scene where A&E quarrel over moving the boulders (furniture)and the one in which the devil convinces Eve to cut her long hair (strategically pasted to her breasts) only to reveal a leaf -pattern bra underneath! It's full of little comic gems and some funny dialog regarding the pair's living conditions and social standing. Eve: "If I had a mother, I'd go home to her!" Adam: "Don't be silly...I AM your mother!"
MuggySphere I don't care what everyone else said but I liked this film.Sure it's silly with the dream sequence in the middle andalternates between black and white and color, but it's god a sense of fun about it. It's also got some really nice looking ladies and Eve manages to walk in a skirt that looks almost too tight to fit into. LOL..... Sure the film didn't win or for that matter deserve to win awards for production or such but it's fun.... I had fun watching it and it just felt like there was a sense of fun in the story. 6/10
