Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Man's Favorite Sport?, the film's theme song has it, is girls. It certainly is not originality or comedy.

rotten:
Matters are helped along somewhat by an attractive and spirited cast, but not enough to keep the film consistently amusing.

Outdoorsman-columnist Rock Hudson suddenly finds he has to live up to his reputation in this 1964 Howard Hawks comedy that's funnier than it has any right to be.
