Make Mine Mink (1960)

Priceless

I own over 50,000 films and "Make Mine Mink" is one of my favorites. Why? It is incredibly funny, heartwarming, and it reminds me of a different age altogether- when comedy was actually funny. The actors are all superb and blend together beautifully, but I must comment on the divine Elspeth Duxbury who plays "Pinkie." To watch her running down the stairs with her police whistle, accompanied by xylophone music is utterly delightful. How often do you get to watch an adult experiencing the pure bliss of a child? Sometimes, its not the great classics with many layers of meaning that I want to see- its the films that actually make me feel happy- and this is definitely one of them. September 15, 2007

Very, very, very funny

A non-stop hoot and a scream from start to finish. I was in tears from laughing. The character observation was priceless, the dialogue a delight beyond compare. A soaring comic British masterpiece from the dear, dead, days beyond recall. BRR: before rock-and-roll --- 1958 it says above, but actually 1960. The end of an era, and the swan song of true-blue British humour, when good-nature, tolerance and humanity still ruled, supported by excruciatingly witty situations, performances honed to perfection, plot lines of matchless ingenuity; off-hand, throwaway remarks to die for. The Major: "Why does she walk like that?" Butch Hattie: "Can't think." I was a juvenile delinquent. "She's stolen my fishing-rod, and she's been at my flies, as well". The zither music at Shanghai Harry's, now run by the Salvation Army. Each successive scene of paralysing risibility was topped by the next, until I was rolling on the floor, in an agony of hilarity.
