30KEine tolle Nummer: Directed by George Marshall. With Glenn Ford, Debbie Reynolds, Eva Gabor, Gustavo Rojo. A U.S. sergeant serving in Spain creates envy among his Air Force superiors and the Spanish locals when his brand new futuristic sports car and pretty wife arrive at the base.
“All in all, a mildly entertaining time capsule of days gone bye, bye; the u0026quot;good old daysu0026quot; when couples married so they could have u0026quot;legitimateu0026quot; sex. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDebbie Reynolds, a chorus line cutie is at her perky peak, and Glenn Ford, an Air Force sergeant, is his usual dull-as-dishwater leading man. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis genre of bedroom farce popular with 1950su0026#39; audiences is full of contrived complications, titillating juvenile sexual innuendo but is overall wholesome movie fare.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf the Catholic arbiters of morality objected to this movie upon its release, I wonder how the fiery red futuristic car passed condemnation? Itu0026#39;s the sexiest thing in the movie. What a babe to ride! Fordu0026#39;s commanding officer tells him the State Department deems the car too u0026quot;splendiferous.u0026quot; This Lincoln concept car certainly had star power; it went on to be cast as the infamous Batmobile. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs the backdrop for the film is Spain, how could the cultural trope of the heroic bullfighter not be included? So thatu0026#39;s inserted into the high jinks too. Olé!”
