A late screwball comedy from Howard Hawks, maker of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). You'll know Rock Hudson, but Paula Prentiss may be a revelation, despite being one of America's most highly-rated comedy actors in the 1960s. Hudson plays Roger Willoughby, an acclaimed fishing expert, with a 'how-to' book to his name, a top sales job in a fishing store, and a terrible secret: he has now real practical experience of fishing. He fears being outed when his employers insist he enters a prestigious fishing competition. Never mind, Paula Prentiss (aka Abigail) is here to help! A very funny film in which the stars have great chemistry.
