World of Henry Orient The (1964) This is a delightful little comedy about two young urban private school girls Gil (Merrie Spaeth) & Val (Tippy Walker) who torment a piano playing playboy Peter Sellers and especially one of his potential married liaisons (Paula Prentiss).

Tom Dick and Harry (1941) Silly comedy especially its dream sequences that will make you wonder how Ginger Rogers earned a Best Actress Oscar (in her film that directly preceded this one Kitty Foyle (1940)).

Thank goodness Rogers redeemed herself the following year [...]

Movie Dentists Doctors of dentistry are not nearly as commonly portrayed in movies I’ve seen as say doctors in general. You too may also have noticed that dentist characters when their profession does appear in a film are typically in comedies. In addition to the obvious slapstick short features from the silent era and/or popular comedy duos and trios (can you say “The Three Stooges”) of their day dentists can be found in these [...]
