     The Mating Game
1959  NR  COMEDY  1h 36min
CAST— Debbie Reynolds, Tony Randall, Paul Douglas, Fred Clark, Una Merkel, Philip Ober, Charles Lane
MUSIC— Jeff Alexander  DIRECTOR— George Marshall  BASED ON— The Darling Buds of May (novel), by H. E. Bates

     Frivolous comedy in which Tony Randall plays his trademark straight-man role amidst the chaos surrounding him. He plays an investigator for the IRS who is sent to sort out a little problem: A Maryland farmer (and father of five) has failed to pay his taxes; in fact, he’s never filed a tax return in his life. Randall is all business until he meets the farmer’s eldest daughter, a beautiful tomboy who’s more than a little distracting. Slow at points but gains a bit of momentum towards the end. More fun if you’re a fan of the stars.
