Man's Favorite Sport?

VHS, 121 minutes, MCA / UNIVERSAL

Popular comedy stars Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss generate an abundance of laughs in "a delightful, zany comedy that bounds with spirit and style as it goes along its slapstick way" (The Film Daily). Hudson portrays a fishing expert who, unbeknownst to his boss, has never angled in his life. When he learns that Prentiss, a popular fishing resort press agent, has persuaded his boss to have him participate in her next fishing tournament, he is sent into a panic. Terrified, Hudson confesses to her his lack of experience while she arranges an outdoor lesson guaranteed to bring him up to speed and fast! Adding to his woes, Hudson's fiancee makes a surprise visit and discovers the lovely Miss Prentiss inside his cabin! Combined with its "...infectiously effervescent musical score by Henry Mancini" (Daily Variety) and the unusual opening sequence involving 6,000 pictures of unknown actresses, "Man's Favorite Sport?" is a timeless, beautifully photographed romantic comedy.
