Operation Petticoat DVD

Advantages: Doris Day
Disadvantages: Doris Day has a fat bottom

...there are a few hiccups along the way… ‘This town ain't big enough! Not for me and that frilled-up, flirtin', man-rustlin' petticoat, it ain't!’ declares Calamity, as she realizes Danny will never be hers. This enjoyable bubblegum romp can be enjoyed no matter how many times you’ve seen it before, maybe not one of the most politically correct films, but certainly one of the sunniest. Keel does everything he did in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954, Stanley Donen) and then some.

Advantages: its only 85 minutes
Disadvantages: its really really bad

..., you have got used to the music so it has zero effect on you. The set is incredibly small, the college campus is more like a medium to large house. The college 'dorm' is really just a room.

...a, touch me is the one that made the channel 4 poll and Rocky (Peter Hinwood who now runs an antique shop in the uk) – gets to do just that, but as Janet does spend almost the entire movie wandering around in bra and petticoat the scenes are very mild. Richard O Brien created the show and plays Riff Raff the butler, he gives the film its most well known song – go on sing along you know you want to ….. Lets do the time warp again. (A word of advise don’t do the timewarp stood next to someone wearing stilettos who is too drunk to know left from right as when they jump on your foot – it hurts!) Brad is played by Barry Bostock who was also the mayor in Spin City. Meatloaf makes an appearance and sings a song and there is even a cameo roll for Christopher Biggins. So whilst this film is quite watchable with a couple of friends and a bottle... Read review
