THAT CERTAIN FEELING
(Paramount-V istaVision) G Cert. OR any person with a sophisticated taste in humour, this is a comedy that takes the wrong turning. It begins with a jibe at the big-time American comic-strip cartoonists (represented by George Sanders) and might have developed into a salty piece of satire if it hadn’t run into the shallows of romance (Eva Marie Saint) and sentimentality (represented by a small orphan boy and a large shaggy dog). The satire does persist, but too thinly for those who like their humour dry. Nevertheless, there’s Bob Hope and where Hope is most of us laugh in spite of ourselves. That Certain Feeling is fair entertainment, but no more-satisfying enough, no doubt, for those who are content with the fugitive comedy of the wisecrack. -_--_-__---_
