John Goldfarb, Please Come Home! (1965)
Not Toy Trains
This movie was excellent when I was 10 and every time I see it (have it on VHS) cracks me up! I hate to contradict other reviewers, but the trains are not "Toy Trains". They are actual live steam locomotives. They were supplied by Mrs. Lewis from Lomita CA. Her company was "Little Engines". She loaned them to this movie. She was a member of the Los Angeles Live Steamers back then as was Walt Disney, David Rose and others. They are machined to various scales, but they are not toys, some are upwards of $30,000. Many have been used in other show such as Silver Spoons. We love this movie just to see the engines and the King drive his scooter that is even funnier. Shirley is the best as always and Richard Crenna never gets a break!
The Boatniks (1970)
Not San Diego
Whoever wrote this was in San Diego Harbor obviously didn't watch the movie or has never been to San Diego. It is in Balboa Bay. You see the car ferry crossing the bay and almost being smashed, and San Diego doesn't now or ever had a car ferry in their bay. Also, they talk about Balboa in several places. I saw this in the movies in 1970 and have had it on VHS for years. Great summer movie. It's lots of fun, don't expect too much, like the Ugly Dachshund, the Love Bug movies just enjoy! It is fun to see these classic actors doing a fun goofy movie. Wally Cox and Joe E Ross are hilarious. I am sure Rodney Dangerfield did his crazy boat driving in Caddyshack after seeing Joe E Ross as the crazy boater in this movie. Just the best!
