Movie Reviews of The Tender Trap

Movie Review: I recognise this plot
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a good movie. I do believe the plot is currently being used as the back story for the Charlie Sheen sitcom 'Two and a Half Men'. good stuff.!

Summary of The Tender Trap

The future is no mystery to Julie Gillis. She has her life mapped out in details that fall just shy of where the wedding portrait will hang and the number of goldfish swimming in the bowl. Julie even knows she'll be married next March 12. She just doesn't know to whom. But it's a cinch he'll have blue eyes. Frank Sinatra headlines this ring-a-ding-ding delight with the title tune that became a Sinatra standard. Debbie Reynolds plays Julie, who sets her marital sights on a Manhattan talent agent (Sinatra) dedicated to life, liberty and the happiness of pursuit. Love is indeed The Tender Trap. And with Sinatra, Reynolds and comedy experts Celeste Holm, David Wayne and Carolyn Jones on call, it's an entertainment gotcha!
It's the total ring-a-ding lifestyle: hep Manhattan pad, fishbowl-sized martini pitcher, and a long list of female companions. Then swinging bachelor Frank Sinatra has his style cramped by a chaste and very organized young Debbie Reynolds. Her detailed blueprint for courtship and marriage forms The Tender Trap's supposedly comic premise, although the results are fairly tepid. Even those expert supporting players David Wayne and Celeste Holm, as Frank's best buddy and most loyal girlfriend, don't have their usual zing. The stage origins of the material are all too evident, with much of the action set in Sinatra's enormous apartment (which is worth a look for future archivists trying to re-create an era). There's the Oscar?-nominated title song, of course, which is still a dandy--and you'll hear it about five times, including a pre-credits sequence with Sinatra (apparently as himself, not his character) crooning to the camera. --Robert Horton
