Take Her, She's Mine

This 1963 comedy with James Stewart and Sandra Dee receives an overdue release via the Fox Cinema Archive Collection. The film, an adaptation of Phoebe and Henry Ephron's hit stage play, focuses on the misadventures of Frank Michaelson (Stewart) as he travels across country and continent to protect his daughter's (Dee) virtue. Co-starring Audrey Meadows, John McGiver, and Robert Morley, Take Her, She's Mine looks breathtaking in widescreen (one of the few CinemaScope features in this collection that retains its original aspect ratio) and offers a crisp monotrack. No special features, but the delightful film (and its pristine print) warrants the purchase price. Recommended for sixties' spectators as well Stewart fans-- look for Bob Denver, Jim Nabors, and James Brolin in cameo roles.

Maybe not exactly screwball, but pretty close. Cute comedy about coming of age of teenage daughter Sandra Dee. Yes, the story line is about Dee and her romance with a handsome Frenchman. Dee even sings, believe it or not! But the fun part of this oldie is Stewart and the shenanigans he gets in -- he keeps getting arrested because he gets sucked into strange situations from a college protest to his consorting in a brothel which he went in just to make a phone call! Funny scene with a period costume he wears. Robert Morely, a great old character actor, helps Stewart with his costume, which is where the fun begins. Jayne Meadows does a great turn as the calm mom in all this. Stewart could do it all, comedy, drama, cowboys. One of this better comedy roles.

Jimmy Stewart as a frustrated father of a teenage Sandra Dee is just delightful. Very cute, clean movie.

Wow, this has been a favorite of mine for years. I remember watching it the first time when I was snowed in in college. No classes, but nowhere to go, the local TV station ran Cabin Fever Theater all night long. James Stewart is at home playing the ever exasperated father of new college student Sandra Dee. He is so intent on saving her, he falls into trap after trap. Yes it is a comedy of misadventures, but Mr. Stewart keeps it somehow believable. The movie has a great supporting cast, well written dialogue and lots of laughs. As a father now whose daughter has graduated college and is prepare to wed, I understand Jimmy Stewart's trials and tribulations.

This is a funny 1960's movie of a college bound girl "coming of age" in Europe (Sandra Dee) and all the silly shenanigans she gets into! Her dad (Jimmy Stewart) comes to her rescue time and time again (and consequently gets himself in trouble at his job). The ending is sooo hilarious, how all the other parents can relate to this situation...The mom is played by a young Audrey Meadows ( also very attractive and funny!!)...the movie stars "make" this movie!

This is one of the cutest comedies from the early 60's. Stewart and Dee are an absolute joy. However, this is my beef: the film, though not in Pan/Scan as in the case of this company's other recent CinemaScope releases,is presented in the "Letterboxed" format and it is NOT Anamorphic by any means. It will come as a big dissappointment to those of you who own a Flat Screen and play movies in their original format. If you still have one of the old CRT TV sets of yesteryear, or you don't care, you'll be Okay. As for me, I am totally baffled that in 2012 a major studio, whose wide screen system in 1953 revolutionized the way films are presented forever, would release their old CinemaScope movies in a tiny Letterboxed format, when their older CinemaScope DVD releases, like the Monroe fliks, "Peyton Place," "The Man In The Grey Flannel Suit," etc. were originally released completely anamorphic in order to fit on rear projection screens of a few years ago! This company is run by idiots, and I shall abstain from wasting my hard earned money on their old fashioned product.

The best... love this movie, I also love that Amazon can provide this old, out of print movie!

Slow but charming. If you can be as patient as the vintage era lifestyle was, this will suit you very well as a family flick. The theme is not well suited to children under twelve. Not hilarious but well acted. A sort of adolescent transition movie when the moral fifties began to give way to the immoral trends of the sixties. If the flower power era revolts you, this film may, too.

Have always been a fan of Sandra Dee & James Stewart, and they worked very well together here.

What a great surprising locating this classic on DVD 👍🏻

I enjoyed seeing this movie again after a number of years. It's so refreshing to watch comedy with good language, good acting, and a fun storyline!

I think this was one of her last movies. Very weak plot line, contrary to her earlier movies, this one did not hold my interest.
