Houseboat
Date undefinedThis movie is very cute! It's interesting to see the debonaire (sp?) Carey Grant playing a dad of some spoiled kids. He does a great job, though and he and Sophia Loren make a cute, if not unusal couple)

Date undefinedThis DVD I ordered was a present for my mother-in-law who loves these old movies. I searched Amazon for the availability and price. Amazon had a good price for this dvd which was new and unused. The original shipment was lost. After more than a month, I called the customer service and they sent me another shipment that I received after 2 days. The condition of the dvd was as stated on the website. My mother-in-law was really happy receiving her present, even though it was late.

Date undefined"With that fine Italian hand that can't cook, or sew, or even do the laundry - you've managed to put a family back together again..."
I just recently purchased HOUSEBOAT (1958) and watched it for the first time and Cary Grant was never better than when he stars with Sophia Loren. They look made for each other! And the gorgeous clothing...you can definitely tell an Edith Head design! Stunning!
Cary Grant plays Tom Winters, a government agent, who is widowed and left to raise his three unruly kids on his own. During a concert one night, Robert (the youngest child) runs away and is found by the beautiful Cinzia Zaccardi (Sophia Loren), who is also running away from her over-bearing, over-protective Italian father. The children immediately fall in love with her and Tom hires her as the maid, but we all know she won't remain the maid for long. Not with a certain handsome man around...
I am sure that during the wedding scene Cary Grant was wishing he was really marrying Sophia Loren. Being that he had asked her numerous times since he fell for her during "The Pride and the Passion", their first movie together. (She was 30 years his junior. During the filming of HOUSEBOAT he was 54 and she was 24).
