INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET, THE(1964)
Half live action, half animation! This is actually pretty
cute! Not a movie to watch over and over, but certainly
good enough to watch once and a while!! B-
From IMDb.com:
A man who loves fish (Don Knotts) is rated 4-F and cannot
join the Navy. After wishing to be a fish, he actually gets
his wish. This film follows his exploits as a fish, meeting
different species and helping destroy the Nazi menace.
Another reviewer summed up the movie as follows: "Basic
middle-aged husband's fantasy: Dump the annoying, controlling,
aging wife for the younger, more submissive, slutty woman."
I absolutely saw aspects of this. The wife was not lovable,
but Limpet seemed rather easily swayed by the prospects of
the ladyfish. Sure, he had reservations, but not until
after flirting with her.
I enjoyed it because it was very strange and because I
like Don Knotts. But, yeah, not really sure what was
all up with it. Very odd film. - gavin6942
