Ah si papa savait ça !

Frank and Anne Michaelson's eldest daughter Mollie is going away to college...and unfortunately she is what's known as a dish! Frank, played by James Stewart, gets himself in all sorts of trouble trying to protect his daughter, played by the lovely Sandra Dee,...he ends up in jail at a protest and in his underwear at a costume party all of which is being criticized by the board of directors where he works who are calling for his replacement.

There are some wonderful cameos...Bob Denver (of Gilligan fame) plays a coffeehouse musician who has to explain to Frank that his daughter is not stripping, and Robert Morley who plays Mr. Pope-Jones, a commiserating fellow father of daughters...who he can't seem to remember the names of!

My favorite scene was actually when Frank and Anne are having a discussion about who taught them the birds and the bees...after they receive a letter or telegram from their daughter mentioning the word virgin! Great comedy there.

"If I could start over, I'd have boys!"-Frank

Poor Frank realizes in the end...that his second daughter is also coming of age!

This was a light comedy that explores that special father daughter relationship from the father's perspective. I would recommend this to Dad's in particular and anyone looking for a light comedy.
