Bing Crosby Meets Fabian

Bing Crosby plays a millionaire in his sunset days who decides to get his college degree. It is very reminiscent of the 1982 Dangerfield vehicle, Back To School, only this one has entertaining songs in addition to light screwball comedy. This is a very good movie to relax to when you're in a mode to laugh, smile, and avoid anything challenging.

An exceptionally delightful film

I first saw this film in 1962 and really enjoyed not only the plot, but the music by the great Henry Mancini. The theme song, "The Second Time Around" especially added to the overall effect of the picture. The movie harkens back to a time of youthful bliss that I think a lot of us would like to once more capture. This "look back" was done with great sensitivity and imagination, and is truly a delightful motion picture. I was most fortunate to see it again in 1995, on the AMC channel, 33 years after I first saw it.

Relaxing movie

A fun romp of a 50 year old Bing Crosby returning to college after becoming a multi-millionaire. He seeks to be just one of the gang. I really enjoy this Blake Edwards "clean" movie. A "Happy Days" type look at life in the late 50's or early 60's.

Of course Tuesday Weld and Fabian add spice but it is Gavin MacLeod that steals many scenes. (Is it just me or has anyone else notice how the younger he was when the movie was made, the older he looks? And the older he gets the younger he looks?)

It is just a plain fun easy time with lots of giggles and a few good laughs.

Fun Time

This is a pleasant and entertaining movie, with a good atmosphere. Some of the gags in it are forced, but the cast pulls it off with a good bit of aplomb, and the movie captures a lot of the good spirit of the late-50s and early-60s. It is also a good example of early Blake Edwards.

My family saw it at a drive-in movie. The scene that struck us most was a particularly amusing profile of a man caught in a "compromising position" during the school's drive to collect lumber for the school bonfire.

This film is probably pretty dated now, but is a good nostalgia piece, and a good vehicle for Bing Crosby.

A feel good movie and a lesson about life

This movie does two things to you after you have seen it. It make you feel good and makes you want to go college. Besides being a feel good movie, it also teaches us a lesson that it is never too late to go forward in life no matter what age you are as Bing Brosy did so well in this movie. A good cast and script, some good music and you have a winner of a movie. No violence and it does very well for itself. I wish they would make more movies like this now

Curiosidades
Under the working title "Big Daddy", this film was originally planned as a vehicle for Gary Cooper. When Cooper's terminal illness prevented his appearing, Bing Crosby was brought in and the script revised to suit his talents.

Pifias
At freshman registration, Harvey Howard states he is 51 years old, high school graduating class of 1929. He is registering for the college class of 1960, entering freshman year in 1956, subtract 51 years and he would be born in 1905. If he graduated high school in 1929 he would have been 24 years old when he graduated.

Citas
Harvey Howard: I was trying to prove that age isn't a matter of years, but of zest. Isn't every waking day a lifetime, and aren't we reborn every morning?
