What's Up, Doc? Review

This movie is so sweet and gentle that it is hard not to like it. It really is a 1930's style romantic comedy in all respects. Also, I've never seen a movie that has such bright and vivid colors - the blues and yellows are just electric, and as such, this film was shot to perfection. Both Ryan and Barbra are in their youthful-looking prime and there is a great assortment of charactor actors in support. A fine film.

What's Up, Doc? Overview

Director Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show) tipped his hat to the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s, and especially the most glorious of them all, Howard Hawks' Bringing Up Baby. Barbra Streisand plays a charming flake who distracts a self-absorbed musicologist (Ryan O'Neal). He's engaged to be married, but soon Streisand's character has him chasing after stolen jewelry and getting into one madcap fix after another. Bogdanovich, who is also a film critic, understands the engine of the screwball genre, and his loving revival of the form brings a smile, though it is not quite consistently inspired or funny. There are plenty of great moments, however, including a slap at O'Neal's own star-making vehicle, Love Story. --Tom Keogh
