Very few laughs…
The names Bud Yorkin and Norman Lear always look good on the credits for a comedy–until you realize Lear’s success was relegated strictly to the tube and Yorkin has no sense of humor. Add to the mix a script based on the play by the highly uneven Neil Simon, and you have a slick but scattershot affair. Frank Sinatra sleepwalks through role as swinging New York bachelor (now there’s a stretch) who takes his gawky younger brother under his wing, much to the chagrin of their mother and father (the torturous Molly Picon and Lee J. Cobb, both giving the term ‘Old World’ a bad rap). Just about every one-liner falls flat, Tony Bill is hopeless in his debut as the kid brother, and Sinatra’s one song (the title cut) is mediocre. Dean Martin has a cameo that’s not bad, and Dan Blocker is wonderfully big and colorful as a disgruntled businessman, but the rest of this “Horn” blows. *1/2 from ****
My review of Come Blow Your Horn is in tribute to the late Neil Simon
With the recent announcement that Neil Simon has died at 91, I decided to watch this-the first movie adapted from his first play. He didn’t adapt it himself as he would most of his subsequent plays to film, no, Norman Lear would do that in this instance. Lear also produced with Bud Yorkin who directed. Tony Bill is the 21-year-old son of Lee J. Cobb and Molly Picon, parents who he loves but wants to now live with his older bachelor brother Frank Sinatra who’s involved in three women-Jill St. John, Phyllis McGuire, and Barbara Rush. Dan Blocker, who played Hoss on the No. 1 TV show at the time “Bonanza” also appears as does a familiar singer in cameo who’s a frequent co-star of Sinatra’s. Besides Simon’s original lines and Lear’s additions, there’s also a title song by James Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn-Sinatra’s usual songwriters. Frank warbles it while teaching his younger brother to dress and taking him out to town in New York City. I don’t know how true this was to Neil Simon’s original play but I’m guessing enough of it was to seem not too different from his subsequent work. I highly laughed most of the time so on that note, I highly recommend Come Blow Your Horn. P.S. This review is indeed dedicated in memory of Mr. Simon.
