Take Her, She's Mine

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.

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.

Mollie goes to college with the best of intentions, but an overwhelming part of the college experience is—boys. Her parents aren’t as keen on their daughter’s college experience and sexual awakening as is Mollie. This is a cute, engaging comedy from the 60s. Good acting all around. James Stewart is very good in comedy roles, and Sandra Dee does what she does best. It gets a little predictable and routine at times, but overall it serves its purpose well as an entertaining comedy. Worth a watch.

Jimmy Stewart has never been funnier on film than in this exceptionally good but light comedy from 1963.He plays the over protective Dad in an era when "Blowin' in the Wind" was in the... air. He follows his college freshman daughter around the planet, to ensure her well-being in the brave new world - and finding himself in one compromising position after the other.Good script, but indifferent and curiously voyeuristic direction; and light use of the great Audrey Meadows, who nonetheless gets major close-ups - casual fans can take it or leave it.

Glad to add this to my collection of classic movies

This is one of my favorite movies and am so glad I finally was able to buy it in DVD format.Jimmy Stewart is charming as the father, Sandra Dee is delightful as the daughter, Audrey Meadows is wonderful as the mother, and Robert Morley is engaging with two polar opposite parts. This movie is dated but that is part of the charm - it captures a more innocent time in our history. Is the storyline believable? Probably not, but I don't care. I watch it to spend a relaxing time being entertained.

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.

Cute and funny movie from back in the 60's. I enjoyed watching a certain funny scene in particular and it was just as funny now as then.

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.
