As is usually the case, Warner Archive's new Blu-ray of the 1966 M-G-M film, The Glass Bottom Boat, is a stunner.
What it has going for it, is some beautifully photographed scenery around Catalina Island.
Other than that, the Frank Tashlin "comedy," really isn't much of one. The gags never seem to work.
While I've always been a fan of Rod Taylor and Doris Day, this one is for their most stalwart fans only. As for Arthur Godfrey - never like the man, and he can't act.
A pity, as the new release is A quality.
One of the questions I ask myself at times like this, is "does the film simply not stand the test of time, or was it not terribly good upon initial release?"
