Behave Yourself: Review

starstarstarstar
Hit and miss comedy featuring the odd casting of Winters and Granger as a young married couple. Archie the dog follows Granger home. Winters thinks the dog is an anniversary gift but it is, in reality, a specially trained animal that bad guys Leonard and Kaplan have lost. They advertise for the dog's return. Granger answers and uncovers a murder. Then another murder happens. Soon, the screen is littered with corpses. The movie tries a bit too hard to have ARSENIC AND OLD LACE overtones with some sharp secondary casting: Leonard, who went on to become one of the most successful TV producers in America; Kaplan, who doesn't seem to have aged since he began his career on one of TV's earliest sitcoms, "Meet Millie" with Elena Verdugo; Demarest, another TV star in "My Three Sons"; Corden, who was in "The Monkees" as the rock group's landlord; Conried, whose career goes well back into radio when he was the neighbor in "My Friend Irma," Professor Kropotkin; and, of course, everyone's favorite punk, Elisha Cook, Jr., who made a career out of sniveling. For the character roles alone, BEHAVE YOURSELF is worth seeing. The story was cowritten by Tarloff, who later went on to share an Oscar for the screenplay for FATHER GOOSE. leave a comment
