Console best movie i've ever seen.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

preppy-3 This takes place in Victorian England. It deals with four lusty men and their attempts to have sex. The plots were hard to follow (the thick English accents didn't help) but I THINK I figured them out. Shaftoe (Tom Bell) is lusting after virginal sweet Hilaret (Sussannah York). Lusty (Jim Dale) is after Cloris (Elaine Taylor) by posing as Lord Foppington (Christopher Plummer) to get her money...and sex. Rambles (Ian Bannen) is basically going after any woman he sees.The jokes are sexually crude enough to make Benny Hill blush...but they're actually more silly today than anything else. It's really hard to believe this got an R rating back in 1969. There's no nudity, sex, swearing or violence--just a lot of sex talk that wouldn't raise an eyebrow today. In fact TCM played it on afternoon TV recently! This is not a good movie (far from it) but it does have its moments and it is amusing to see Plummer play it WAY over the top as Lord Foppington. I kept having to remind myself that this was the same man who did Shakespeare on stage! Actually all the acting is good and has people going full tilt with many asides to the camera. No one is really bad but some are very good--Glynis Johns goes full tilt as Mrs. Sqeezum, Ian Bannen is having the time of his life playing Rambles and Jim Dale hams it up nonstop. Also this was a pretty big budget movie--it shows an accurate portrayal of how grubby and dirty England was back then (even though it was shot in Ireland!). So this isn't a good movie but has enough moments to take a look at.

bhayling When our local TV station first launched, it filled a lot of its schedule with old British programming. "Lock Up Your Daughters!" was duly aired, and I -- swayed by the opening few seconds of the film -- popped in a blank tape. Best thing I ever did.The actors are beautifully suited to their characters and bring them to delightful life, complete with appropriate accents (Christopher Plummer's Foppington will leave you in stitches, as will Hoyden and her family). Double entendres abound, plot-line wheels within wheels mix and match the characters, hilarious sight gags lurk in every scene, and risqué comments are made on a regular basis.I showed the film to friends a few years ago and they called the piece "a lost treasure," as much for the cast as for the story. To this day I can crack up just thinking about the dialog. Should this gem ever find its way to a DVD release, I'll be at the front of the line.

MovieAddict2016 Awful late-sixties so-called "comedy" about the ill-fated attempts of an over-protective father (Christopher Plummer) to keep his daughters pure. Plummer's hate for his most famous film, "The Sound of Music," is infamous. Many people know that he refers to it as "The Sound of Mucus." So he started appearing in really bad movies (most notably ones where he plays evil characters) in order to wipe away his Nice Family Man persona.So he made this trash instead? Whatever.

munson-2 I reviewed this movie when it was released in 1969. At that time I thought it was absolutely rib-splitting. It deals mainly with the attempts of an English Fop (we're talking the 1700's here) to maintain the chastity of his daughters. It is ribald fare and the comedy a bit along the lines of TOM JONES, but it is worth the price of admission just to see this father, fake cheek mole plopped in place, his finery and lace cuffs set just so, rush from situtation to situation in little prig-ish strides.I would love to see it released on Video.
