This is a charm film, seeming to be the place where Warren Beatty hit his charm peak, learned how it was done and did it perfectly.
Perfectly cast down to the servants, this film has some of the best scenes, with Buck Henry and James Mason in the closet ("Tell them I'm sorry, thank them"), the falling bed sequence, the servants on the staircase, Warren running around the house, the cigarlighting "I'm Joe Pendleton" scene, the hats, "have we met?" and,of course, the classic "let's be the goodguy company, the popular players." I could go on.
At the end, where Julie Christie is realizing that Tom is Joe, her SKIN changes color. She FLUSHES.
When Joe tells Buck Henry, "you're bad news", when Joe tells Mr. Jordan, "I love her, Mr. Jordan".
"Can't something be legal and still be wrong?" A maid comes out on the croquet lawn with the badly hit ball!
I'm sorry, but this film with it's brilliant comedy and beyond brilliant cast is so much better than "Here Comes Mr. Jordan", there's no comparison.
This is one of my favorite films of all time. I love it. It's funny, it's charming, it's inspirational. This is why God invented Hollywood.
