is a 1964 American screwball comedy film starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss and directed and produced by Howard Hawks.

Hawks intended the film to be an homage to his own 1938 screwball classic Bringing Up Baby, with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, and unsuccessfully tried to get these stars to reprise their roles.

He is very successful at his job and highly sought after by his customers, some of whom are looking for equipment which could help them win the next annual fishing tournament at Lake Wakapoogee.

He arrives at the lodge with a ridiculously large amount of camping and fishing equipment, all of which was provided by Cadwalader.

When he has to leave to talk to some of his customers, who have arrived for the tournament and want some tips, Abigail, who had taken the sleeping pill, falls asleep in his bed.

When the three-day tournament starts, Willoughby is still incompetent but, by sheer luck, catches some large fish which make him very competitive.

She apologizes for getting him in so much trouble and begs him to refuse the prize and come clean with his boss, the tournament director and his customers.

[5] In July Hawks said the film would star Cary Grant and a French actress and that the other movies would be Bengal Tiger and Yukon Trail.

"[11] Hawks said the film previewed successfully but Universal wanted twenty minutes cut out to enable an extra screening per day.

[12] The film was released on February 5, 1964, eventually grossing $6 million at the box office,[2] while earning $3,000,000 in US theatrical rentals.

The critics' reactions were somewhat tepid, particularly in comparison to Hawks' earlier works,[14] though Molly Haskell wrote a glowing analysis of the picture seven years later in The Village Voice.

Haskell admitted an indifference to the film in 1964, and that upon revisiting the film in 1971 she was "both delighted and deeply moved by the film—delighted by the grace and real humor with which the story was told, and moved by the reverberation of the whole substratum of meaning, of sexual antagonism, desire, and despair.

Robin Wood notes: "It was cruel to make [Hudson] repeat the night-club scene from Bringing up Baby which Cary Grant brought off with such panache.

"[17] Robin Wood: "Paula Prentiss is—as always—very good, but at times one has the feeling that Hawks is importing a characterization on her instead of working with her.
