MAN'S FAVORITE SPORT? is another delightful comedy, this time starring Rock Hudson as a fishing expert who has never actually been fishing. When obnoxious promoter Paula Prentiss suggests Rock's entry in a big fishing tournament, the boss thinks it's a wonderful idea. Rock soon finds himself in the unfamiliar surroundings of nature, trying to catch a winning fish based on his book-learning rather than practical experience. Paula tags along, and nearly drives Rock crazy before he has a chance to fall in love with her! Super fun stuff, with a number of gags that really drive home the charm -such as Rock literally running on water when he finds himself standing next to a bear. Norman Alden steals the show as a conman Indian who puts on a Tonto routine for the tourists. Miss Prentiss is absolutely adorable (in an often irritating way), and this was the first film in which I saw her. Worth a look.
